Explanation:

It was the Greek philosophers who first suggested that the shape of our planet is not flat.

Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher in the 5th century BC, was the first who alluded to the spherical nature of Earth. Plato, another Greek philosopher, had "conviction" that the Earth is round. Evidence of Earth's spherical shape was further established by Plato's student Aristotle.

Since then numerous other studies have not only established the spherical nature of our planet but also conducted extensive research to figure out various other characteristics and phenomenons which further points towards Earth's sphericity. Barring one group.

The flat-earthers. This group, like Plato, have a firm conviction that our planet Earth is a flat surface.

Walking over the surface of Earth feels like you are walking on a flat surface and hence, Earth is flat and not spherical, they argue.
