    Everyday basic science continues to defy flat earth.
    eg :-
    Where does a 20kg weight exert less downward force, poles or equator ?
    • Earth's Shape:
      Earth is not a perfect sphere, but an oblate spheroid, meaning it's wider at the equator and flatter at the poles. This means objects at the poles are closer to the Earth's center than objects at the equator.
    • Earth's Rotation:
      Earth's rotation creates a centrifugal force that is strongest at the equator. This force slightly reduces the effective pull of gravity at the equator.
