NASA is an American space agency that largely leads the space industry. But do you know that despite being so far ahead in space exploration, there are still some people in the world who believe that the Earth is flat. Yes, you don't need to be surprised at all, because it's so true. Although everyone has the right to believe whatever he wants, but it is the responsibility of science-minded people to verify it in a scientific way and discuss what kind of implications the flat earth can have on Earth's life.
So before we go into the depth of this topic, we would like to tell you that even if the earth was flat, it would not have been able to stay like this for long. Because gravity pulls everything along the radius towards the center, causing the flat disc-like shape to become spherical automatically in a few years. This is the reason why most of the celestial bodies, whether the moon or even the sun, a balloon made of hydrogen and helium gas, or any other planet, are mostly 99.99 percent spherical in shape. On the other hand, those which are not spherical yet are also turning into a sphere, gradually.
But now let's say what if it doesn't happen. So generally gravity would be perpendicular to the center of this disc-shaped earth and as you moved towards its boundaries it would become horizontal. This would have meant that you could walk comfortably in the center area, but as soon as you started walking towards the boundaries, you would feel that gravity is pulling you down and back. It would make you feel like you are climbing Mount Everest. Furthermore, because of such strange gravity, the whole ocean would also get deposited in the center in the form of a hemisphere or a giant drop. Along with this, all the trees start growing horizontally as they move away from the center, this is because the trees always show negative geotropism, that is, they grow against the direction of gravity.

Well, by now it must be sounding quite basic changes, so now let's move towards the higher level changes. For example, the disc-shaped Earth would have no moon. As we know the Moon is capable of orbiting the Earth because the Earth's gravity helps to keep it in orbit. But when this gravity becomes uneven, it will be difficult for the earth to hold the moon in the orbit and the moon will fly out of orbit. Now as we know that without the Moon the tides in the ocean would stop and the Earth's rotation would also become unstable. Because when the earth does rotation and revolution, its central axis wobbles a lot like a spinning top. When the Moon revolves around the Earth, it counterbalances the Earth's wobbling motion, making this wobble substantially low, slow, and stable, so stable that it doesn't affect us. So after the departure of the moon, the earth will start wobbling very fast and it will be difficult for us to stand properly. Also, the disappearance of tides will disturb the oxygen cycle of the ocean, causing aquatic animals to die in seconds.

Now if you still don't feel serious about this event, then let's move towards a new drastic change. The central axis of the earth is tilted about 23.5 degrees, due to which we get to see different seasons on the earth. But now that this axis is going to wobble drastically, that too at any angle, our season cycles will be disrupted and any season will come and go at any time. Meaning the season will start changing overnight and it will have a terrible effect on the whole earth.
