Earth’s surface can be determined and described."

It's exactly what I always knew it to be, hasn't changed.
The SURFACE of the sphere is measured by it's CIRCUMFERENCE!!
The HEIGHT, WIDTH OR DEPTH of the sphere is equal to it's DIAMETER!!!
The distance along he surface is 2000 miles.
But if you tunneled through the ground in a straight line underneath ATL 500 miles and then you can made a 90 degree turn towards LA that's where you will end up. What is so fucking hard to understand about this???
