Why do we view the earth as
? Why don't we view the earth as
? Who says the arctic has to be at the top, while the antarctic is at the bottom ? We sometimes refer to those in the southern hemisphere as "down-under", but why aren't we in the northern hemisphere the ones down-under ? If aliens approached our planet from space, would they cruise in viewing the earth as in image #1 ? Or, would we tell them, "Hey, you're coming in upside-down ! " And while we're at it, why are heads always at the top of the body ? Maybe those aliens would have heads right above their legs, and their stomach, heart, and all the other guts would be at the top of their body.
