Globe Earth Model (concept)

The Globe Earth Model describes our planet as an oblate spheroid—slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator—based on extensive scientific observations. It explains phenomena like the curvature of the horizon, time zones, and satellite orbits. This model is supported by satellite imagery, global navigation systems, and measurements from physics and astronomy. Understanding Earth as a round sphere helps us comprehend how gravity works, how the sun's position affects daylight, and why different parts of the world experience seasons at different times. It provides a consistent framework for navigation, science, and environmental understanding.
