Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.

It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.
No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.
Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Oh shit, there goes the planet.
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
If you reach the bird people you're too far ahead.

So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven't read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.
Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.
Just a coincidence, it was actually shaped by erosion

GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.

Sold to aliens for scrap by a bankrupt country (for 10 hamburgers, which is approximately 10 hamburgers in todays hamburgers).

The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.

What they don't explain is how everything else is gone, and even the entire coastline is different, but somehow the upper half of that particular copper statue has somehow survived
