The Earth is a spherical planet

Yes, a sphere is perfect, but a spherical object is not necessarily a perfect sphere.
I dance to The Procession of The Equinoxes.
Which is to say: Nothing is perfectly round.
Well... A few things lately are close enough.

Yes it is. An imperfect sphere is not a sphere. A triangle with 4 sides is not a triangle. You are not Lemmy. I am not a lizard monster. These are facts of life we must live with.

We are at the point where you're own post are being used against you. You're obviously being obtuse simply to perpetuate this belief that we will tell you you're wrong when you're actually right.
It's getting a little sad, now.

Exactly. "Spherical" is an adjective that describes a "sphere" and what you posted says that a "sphere" is a "perfectly round.
It is pretty sad that every mother lover on here feels the need to contradict everything I post.
Stop posting things that are incorrect.
OK, I am about to attempt something never heretofore observed at TalkBass: I am going to reconsider my previous position and revise my opinion.
To wit: If OP had stated that earth "is a sphere," I would continue to maintain that he is simply incorrect: A "sphere" is a geometric entity with certain properties that are only approximated by earth. However, in fact he only maintained that earth was "spherical," which I now am willing to agree suggests merely that its shape is similar to a sphere -- as opposed to, say, a two-dimensional "flat" surface.
Mostly, though, I think we all would be better off getting out our basses and practicing rather than continuing to argue about this....

Spherical is "like a sphere", or "similar to a sphere", which means it doesn't have to be a perfect sphere. I was correct, and remain so.
People contradict others on here just for the pure sake of it, and it's OLD!
Let's see if you learned anything.
The Earth is a spherical planet
A) True
B) False
This is incorrect. But you know that.
You can't go on a public forum, state inaccurate info, then expect others to agree with you.
