When it’s at scale, they failed to rotate the globe and that irks me.
I learned that the oxygen around the earth is about as thick as a coat of paint on a pool ball, relatively.
I’m not sure how accurate that is.
Space is about 100 km up, on a sphere that has a radius of 6000 km, so some 2% is air.
A pool ball has a radius of 30 mm roughly, so 2% of that is 0.6mm. Seems like a very thin coat of paint to me, but roughly correct.
A coat of paint is like 0.045mm thick
Not on the walls I’ve painted. I don’t know about pool balls, but I’d imagine they need a solid layer of paint too, otherwise they’d flake in no time with the abuse they get.
I was once told that if you scaled the earth and a glass marble to be the same size, the earth would have a much smoother surface.
Not take away the water!
That wouldn’t change the conclusion. Also, we probably don’t have all the ocean floors mapped out.
i really love these relief maps.
