(...) Well-- strictly speaking we know the mass is roughly the same. But you're right: we don't know the density of the planet, hence we can't REALLY guess at the planet's volume... And therefore you can't guarantee the curvature of the planet (...) (22 years ago, 18-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) That's what I really dislike about SWTC. He pulls some factoid that sounds right, and uses it as though it were fact.
