The Earth is round
.
.
There are many strong pieces of evidence proving that the Earth is round. Here are some of the clearest:
1. Satellite Images & Space Travel
Photos taken from space by satellites, the International Space Station (ISS), and astronauts consistently show a spherical Earth.
2. The Curvature of the Horizon
As you rise in altitude (e.g., in a plane or a high-altitude balloon), the horizon curves downward, consistent with a round Earth.
3. Ships Disappearing Over the Horizon
When a ship sails away, the bottom part disappears first, followed by the mast. If the Earth were flat, the entire ship would just shrink uniformly.
4. Lunar Eclipses
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a round shadow on the Moon, which would only happen if Earth were spherical.
5. Time Zones & Day/Night Cycle
If the Earth were flat, the Sun would rise and set at the same time everywhere. Instead, time zones exist because the Earth is a sphere rotating on its axis.
6. Gravity & the Shape of Large Objects
Gravity pulls objects into a roughly spherical shape, which is why all large celestial bodies (planets, stars, moons) are round.
7. Airplane Flight Paths
The shortest paths between distant locations follow curved routes, consistent with a spherical Earth (great-circle routes).
8. Different Star Visibility
Different constellations are visible in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, proving the Earth isn't a flat plane but a curved sphere.

Each of these pieces of evidence independently confirms that the Earth is round.
