Hunger in the United States is an issue that affects millions of Americans, including some who are middle class, or who are in households where all adults are in work. Research from the USDA found that 14.9% of American households were food insecure during at least some of 2011, with 5.7% suffering from very low food security.
Flat Earth (also known as the Flat Earth myth, flat-earthism, and less commonly platygeism) is the belief that the earth â which the vast, vast majority of the population imagine in their heads as this big spherical thing (or oblate spheroidal thing, pedants) is actually flat. (Or, at least, cyclindrical.).
Because the Earth slightly flattens out at the poles, its shape is an oblate spheroid, meaning that it is similar to a sphere but is not perfectly regular. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,902 miles. Again, that is a bit more than its circumference from pole to pole, which is 24,860 miles. At 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter, the Earth is the densest planet in the solar system.
