It’d have to be. Otherwise how could the ground be level if we were on the side of a sphere?

Check and mate. 🫳🎤

I enjoy how you had to hold it very specifically this way around so that none of the spirit level bubbles were in the middle.

Well, where I live in the world (North Carolina, USA), I would imagine I’m somewhere between the middle of the ball (equator) and the top of the ball (Arctic). So yeah, that happens to be a position where none of the bubbles are in the middle. 😊

You actually don’t need to imagine… most maps indicate what the angle should be.

The latitude on the map matches the angle between the North Star and the horizon. It’s just a weird coincidence that maps are like that.
