The Earth is flat.
Change My Mind
To address your belief that the Earth is flat, let's consider some key evidence that supports the fact that the Earth is a sphere:
Satellite Images and Space Exploration: The most direct evidence comes from space. Satellite images show a round Earth, and astronauts who have traveled to space have consistently observed and photographed the Earth as a sphere.
Ship and Horizon Observation: When ships sail away, they don't disappear all at once. Instead, their hulls disappear first, and their masts disappear last. This is due to the curvature of the Earth. If the Earth were flat, the entire ship would shrink uniformly and disappear, instead of disappearing from the bottom up.
Gravity and Physics: The laws of physics and gravity, as we understand them, support a spherical Earth. Gravity pulls equally from all sides which naturally forms a sphere. A flat Earth model would defy our understanding of physics and gravity.
Time Zones and Sunsets: The Earth’s curvature also explains why we have time zones and why the sun sets and rises at different times in different parts of the world. On a flat Earth, everyone would see the same sky and experience sunrise and sunset at the same time.
Circumnavigation: People have circumnavigated the Earth. This has been done by airplane and by ship, going in both east-west and north-south directions, which would be impossible on a flat Earth.
Eclipses: Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. This shadow is round, matching the shape of a spherical Earth.
Understanding that the Earth is round is important for navigation, space exploration, and even understanding climate and weather patterns. If you're interested in further exploring this topic, I recommend checking out resources that cover space exploration and Earth science.
