    The Earth is an oblate spheroid that bulges slightly at the center and flattens at the poles, with an equatorial diameter of 12,756km and polar diameter of 12,714km. Several experiments and observations provide proof that the Earth is spherical, including satellite pictures, the circular horizon, sunrise/sunset, and ships being sighted from distant locations. The Earth is uniquely habitable due to factors like its distance from the sun, temperature, atmosphere, water, lithosphere, and biosphere.
