Many scientists and sailors contributed in defining the earth.

Columbus who believed that earth is in the shape of sphere discovered a whole new route from America to India because of his assumptions.

Similarly, many sailors and scientists did a lot of research and gave the complete details of earth and its movement.

EXPLANATION:

The scientists and sailors have played a major role in giving us a clear picture of the earth and defining the life and functions of the earth in various ways. The sailors have sailed across various destinations and have revealed evidence of the roundness of the earth.

When a ship comes in view of the horizon then one can only see the top of the ship. This method was used for showing that the earth is round. If the earth was flat then we could have seen the whole ship at once. The scientists have also developed unique methods of explaining the position of the earth, moon and the stars.
