    Outta Space Signal

    If NASA can sen images from deep space why is it I can't get a WiFi signal from one side of my house to the other?

    If we broke off from the sun then why is the earth perfectly round? Does spinning and spinning take off the rough edges?

    LOL All of the planets are round because of gravity. When our Solar System was forming, gravity gathered billions of pieces of gas and dust into clumps which grew larger and larger to become the planets. The force of the collision of these pieces caused the newly forming planets to become hot and molten. The force of gravity, pulled this molten material inwards towards the planet's center into the shape of a sphere. Later, when the planets cooled, they stayed spherical. Planets are not perfectly spherical because they also spin. The spinning force acts against gravity and causes many planets to bulge out more around their equators.

    As for your wifi gaz I haven't got a clue?

    Hope you didn't have to pay a cancellation fee as you'd be vexed for the rest of the year

    i agree Laz,actually the earths shape is Oblate Spheroid..

    Since the Earth is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator, geodesy represents the shape of the earth with an oblate spheroid. The oblate spheroid, or oblate ellipsoid, is an ellipsoid of revolution obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis.

    so eat **** ConT..lol
