I mean, the planet is likely smoother than a lot of ball bearings

The highest point and the lowest point aren’t very far deviated. Less than 6 miles up and less than 6 miles down. Basically a little less than 0.001% deviation.

Edit: After doing a bit of digging it looks like Earth would be comparable to a 1 inch grade 1000 ball bearing. Grade 1000 are not remotely close to the highest grade, in fact it’s one of the lowest grades of ball bearings.

mobile link, sorry

God damn ball bearings get down to some crazy tolerances at the really high grades.

I’m happy I dig some digging into it.
