@marguicha It wouldn't be the case if the Earth weren't "tilted."

I think it's a bit flattened, like a top. What do you think?

I was taught it was round, then pear shaped. When I was little I was taught that Pluto was a planet. Now some say it isn´t and some call it a dwarf planet. Why would it be less a planet just for being small?

I never thought of an Earth as a coconut. It must be because we have no coconuts here. Teachers spoke of oranges when I was a child.

In fact the earth is not round at all, it is a sphere that is squashed at its poles and swollen at the equator.

@LadyDuck I think that sentence was beautiful! You had an imagination! Being a grown up does not mean we should lose our capability to make believe.

So it is said. But I can still imagine how daring those sailors were, many centuries ago, thinking that they might fall off the Earth

@marguicha When I was 3 years old, we were walking in the woods with my Dad and I remember that I asked what if we arrived at the "end of the world". Silly kid.

I think that question has long been resolved and recent photos taken by astronauts if orbital flight further support the fact of the earth being round.

Nothing in the world has been resolved. It is ever changing. Don´t trust photos. Your eye sees things that my eyes don´t.

Isaiah 40:22: He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live. That's how I know it's round-ish.

@porwest When I think about reality I always remember about how centuries ago scientists "demostrated" that mice could be born only if you placed some rags in the attic. No need to have a "mother mouse"".
