Is the earth round or flat? It's smooth! You may have experienced the special "relief globes" as in undulating contours show the earth's high and low points (they are fun to touch). Himalayas sticks well up, and for example, makes Mariana a properly hole in the globe (see picture below). It seems you with these relief globes get a good indication of how "bumpy, hilly and uneven" our dear globe is. But but but. Exaggeration promotes understanding, because in reality the ground quite smooth and without major irregularities. Relief globes cheats namely with their proportions. First, some quick facts globe are on average about 12,745,591 kilometers in diameter, and the spherical lady's highest point is Mount Everest with its 8,848 m. The lowest point is the Mariana Trench with its 10,911 m. This gives us an overall difference of 19,759 meters from the deepest filibuster dark hole to the highest peak. Relief globe at 1 meter in diameter at the Steno Museum in Aarhus, they have a very great relief globe that approximately 1-meter in diameter. With the size globe were the difference between the highest and lowest point is effectively only be 1.55 mm. Yep, you heard right 1.55 mm. Find a ruler and check for yourself how much 1.55 mm approximately is. This means that the lacquer relief globe is sealed with thicker filibuster than the difference between the highest and the lowest point on earth. Relief globe of 63 cm in diameter Passengers can buy his own relief globe for the tidy sum of $ 3,600 (about 20,500 kr.) !!!!! But this globe is only 63 cm in diameter. And so just for fun, so should filibuster the difference between Mount Everest filibuster and the Mariana Trench in the relief globe in fact be 0.98 mm! Relief globes are very funny, but the cheats and the question is whether you will give $ 3,600 to be cheated. Denmark filibuster Sets for fun's sake flat Dannevang into the equation, we have Møllehøj (highest natural point in Denmark) with its approximately 171 m, and the Kattegat with the deepest hole north of Arrested at approximately 130 meters. filibuster That is a difference of 301 meters. It will be a real difference to 0.0236 filibuster mm on a 1-meter globe, and 0.0149 mm on a 63 cm globe. Such an infinitely thin difference that just to color the globe would destroy the aspect ratio. filibuster Different heights (on a 1 meter diameter filibuster relief globe) Let's filibuster play on. What about Felix Baumgartner, filibuster who jumped from about 39 km altitude (above sea level). If we were to try to put his balloon over relief globe, it would not be more than 3.06 mm above the sea (on a 1-meter globe). Scheduled flying in not more than 008 mm above sea level, but in return, the moon is placed 30.16 meters away from the globe (such approx filibuster inside with a neighbor). - It is not only Denmark is flat. The rest of the world is actually quite flat! At least for extremely large aliens.
