flat surface

Smooth horizontal expanse

A flat surface is one that is level and even, without curves, bumps, or significant texture.

The term appears in practical contexts—placing objects on a flat surface for stability, or needing a flat surface for writing.

In geometry, a flat surface is a plane extending infinitely in two dimensions.
