Question

Give examples of direct evidence that suggests earth is this shape​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The earliest documented mention of the spherical Earth concept dates from around the 5th century BC, when it was mentioned by ancient Greek philosophers.It remained a matter of speculation until the 3rd century BC, when Hellenistic astronomy established the spherical shape of the Earth as a physical fact and calculated the Earth's circumference. The paradigm was gradually adopted throughout the Old World during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. A practical demonstration of Earth's sphericity was achieved by Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano's circumnavigation (1519–1522).

Answer 2

Answer:

It is a sphere.

Explanation:

All large spinning objects in the universe are spherical in shape. The reason it takes that shape is a combination of the laws of motion and gravity. Gravity pulls at a constant rate towards the center of the object. As the object spins gravity holds the matter together and moving in a circular direction.
