Aristotle had written a book named On the heavens .
In this book he was able to put forward two good arguments for believing that the earth was a round sphere rather than a flat plate . First he realized that eclipses of the moon was caused by the earth coming between the sun and the moon .
The earth's shadow on the moon was always round , which would be true only if earth was spherical.
Second , the Greeks knew from their travels that the north star appeared lower in the sky when viewed in the south than it did in more northerly regions .

⭐ARISTOTLE IN HIS BOOK ON THE HEAVENS⭐
✔Around 350 BC, the great Aristotle declared that the Earth was a sphere (based on observations he made about which constellations you could see in the sky as you travelled further and further away from the equator) .
✔And during the next hundred years or so, Aristarchus and Eratosthenes actually measured the size of the Earth!
