I keep getting this error message

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "U:/Computer Programming/Python/Quiz how.py", line 3, in <module>
    if (answer_1 == Flat):
NameError: name 'Flat' is not defined

My Code is

score = 0
answer_1 = input("What is the shape of the Earth?")
if (answer_1 == Flat):
    print("You got it right")
    score = score + 1
    print("Your Score is:", score)
else:
    print("You are incorrect, The answer was Flat")
    print("Your Score is:", score)
