[00:00:00]Here's a fact that sounds fake.

[00:00:02]Earth is not actually a perfect sphere.

[00:00:06]Even though globes [music] and pictures make it look perfectly round, our planet is actually slightly squished.

[00:00:13]Because Earth spins so fast, the force from rotation causes it to bulge outward around the equator.

[00:00:19]Scientists call the shape an oblate spheroid.

[00:00:23]That means if you stood at the equator, you'd actually be farther from Earth's center than someone standing at the North Pole.

[00:00:30]So, Earth may look like a perfect [music] ball from space, but it's actually slightly flattened at the top and bottom.
