The radius of the Earth doesn't really factor in. If you have rectangular pool that requires 100 gallons of water for fill up to 1 foot in depth, it'd require an additional 100 gallons of water to make it 2 feet in depth, another 100 gallons to make it 3 feet in dept, and so forth. However, if the pool is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, with a bottom narrower than the top, each subsequent foot of water depth will require more water to fill.
really? radius of earth doesn’t come into play in calculating the volume of a spherical shell sitting on its surface? have you thought this through at all?
