      Unlikely…unless I have not been looking carefully enough when I’m on a plane 😉
      Could be interesting if it was though.

      Nah, I think it’s more like a sphere, but not a perfect one, because it bulges out around the centre.

      No, I think it’s a slightly squashed ball shape. I’ve seen photos of it taken from space, and I know that the how we understand the physics, which helps us keep satellites moving the right way, and other things only works if the earth is a ball.
