Earth is slightly flatten at the poles and so its shape is described as:

  • (A) Pentagon
  • (B) Asteroid
  • (C) Geoid
  • (D) Diamond
  • The Earth is not perfectly spherical. Because it rotates, the Earth is squished at the poles and bulging at the equator, so it is best described as a Greoid. You might have heard the term oblate spheroid, but geoid is the word used to describe the real surface of the Earth, including local irregularities.
  • Quick Info: Geoid means "Earth-shaped," acknowledging its non-perfectly spherical form.
  • It is not a polygon (Pentagon/Diamond) or a space rock (Asteroid).
