Comment on If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be?
Successful_Try543@feddit.org 1 week agoAs @huquad@lemmy.ml pointed out, @LodeMike@lemmy.today had an error in his calculation (radius squared instead of cubed). His corrected result, 1.7 mi also equals 2.7 km.

My answer is also based on some pretty rounded figures and I’d had a few drinks before doing that math.
2 miles is roughly 3.2km. Honestly, the fact that I’m even within the same order of magnitude as the other answers is surprising.
