No, not a round disc. A flat plane with a dome ceiling. Earth doesn't end at the ice wall that is Antarctica, it continues past that point.

There are 4 directions, right? North, South, East, West. Polar coordinates can be broken up into four quadrants, yes? I don't claim to know specifically what the 4 corners are supposed to be, but if you're looking for an explicit answer here then it comes down to your interpretation based on context.

OK but all the information i see refers to a disc. So confused. But will not spend time on this because it really does not matter. If you were to get in a plane with infinite fuel capacity and begin at the equator leave from City X eventually you will arrive back at City X regardless of which direction you travel EAST or WEST. I believe in God and love Jesus....but really what is all thin on to.

Are you talking about what's inside the Ice Wall that is Antarctica? Most maps show only a disc because past those edges is nothing but ice, as far as we know...

If you get on a plane and go due east nonstop, you will reach your starting point because you will make a perfect circle around the north pole. Same happens if you go west. One problem with this idea on a globe, if the globe is spinning, why doesn't one direction take way less time than the other?

I too believe in God and love Jesus, and I am in awe of His creation. It truly is a masterpiece.
