I once read that if the Earth was shrunken to the size of a billiard ball, it would be SMOOTHER than a billiard ball.................
Yes, but it might not be as perfectly round as a billard ball. IIRC the slightly pear shape of the planet was one of the first surprises from the dawn of the satellite age. On a billiard table it might wobble a bit, just as it does in a 23 thousand year cycle in orbit.
While ready about the earth being smother than a billiard ball, I remembered this question.
If the could rap a rope around the earth and cut it where the ends meet. How far, in feet, would the ends be apart if you could raise it 6 inches on supports around the circumference at any point?
