Aristotle in his book On the heavens , 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 also created a theory on how the Earth was created and how the universe is laid out. He believed the Earth had always existed and was in an almost eternal state. The Earth, to his understanding, was unchanged and always provided a perfect circular motion for the revolving bodies.
