NASA Has Revealed the True "Gravitational" Shape of Earth. It Looks Like a Potato.

Summary by Rzeczpospolita
NASA has released a visualization of the geoid, a mathematical model of Earth's gravitational field. It shows what sea level would look like if it were solely influenced by gravity and the planet's rotation. In the visualization, Earth is no longer a perfect sphere; it has bumps and depressions, making it more like a lumpy potato.
