The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is an approximately spherical shape that is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. If the Earth were a polyhedron, it would have a different shape and would affect the planet's gravity and rotation as well as its atmosphere and climate.
A polyhedron is a three-dimensional shape with flat faces, and if the Earth were a polyhedron it could be a variety of different shapes such as a cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, and so on. Each polyhedron shape would have its own unique properties and characteristics, such as the number of faces, edges, and vertices.
If the Earth were a polyhedron, it would likely have an effect on the planet's gravity and rotation, as the gravitational pull would not be symmetrical around the planet, this would affect the orbits of the moon and the planets, and the gravitational pull would be different at each point on the Earth's surface.
It would also affect the atmosphere, as the Earth's rotation creates the Coriolis Effect, which causes the prevailing winds to rotate clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern hemisphere, this effect would be different or not exist at all, depending on the shape of the polyhedron.
It's important to note that, while it's interesting to imagine a different shape of the Earth, it's highly unlikely that the Earth would ever be a polyhedron, as it's formed by the accretion of dust and gas, and by the cooling and solidification of a molten planet, which would lead to a spherical shape.

It's both. or; it appears as both. The surface of earth is flat; yet the earth itself is encased in a terrarium like sphere that holds the appearance of glass that mirrors the earth's surface. Earth's protective mantle. It looks like a glass terrarium from outer space with the surface of earth reflected beneath it; giving the earth's surface the illusion of the shape of a round ball. So, it has aspects of a cylindrical ball and has aspects of a surface that is flat. Gravity as a weak form of magnetism holds the reflective mantle around the earth in place. Just because you cannot see it does not mean it isn't there.

I really like the idea of a Polyhedron shaped earth, I-m going to have the earth in the backstory lore for my novella series I-m writing be shaped like that.
The moon colliding with the earth sounds like a great conflict for a story.
I-m definitely going to be writing that idea into the backstory lore of my novella series as well, alongside some other ideas.

i could just imagine what having 20 separate ecosystems would do to ecology as a whole. it could be possible that since different environments are separated unlike earth, that global warming would only be a problem for certain countries.

Icosahedron sounds like a really cool idea for a game's open world! Different ecosystems, different flaura and faunas. Having to go through such challenging journey to go to each different ones too. It's really neat!

What if the Earth was shaped like a 20-sided die? Well then, obviously all those mass extinctions are just times God missed his saving throw.

If the world is icosahedron, then those who lived in twentieth side will have increased in critical success and critical failure by 10%.

What IF. what would happen if you're injected with Lethal Injection?
just curious, What IF, please can you make video about this?

why are you not linking the movie name to where the videos of people falling sideways. i would see that film

Let-s just say that, if earth looked like this, jetpacks might become a priority for travelling across earth
