Is the earth really flat?

1 Answer

Answer :

No,the earth isn't flat but rather spherical. Several proofs have been put I place and some of them include: circumnavigation( if you decide to go round the globe, you'll come back to the same same place). If the earth was flat, someone could land on a totally different place. Another proof is the earth's horizon which is always curvy from a high tower view. Finally we have a ship approaching the boat. The smoke is always seen first before the whole body shows up. These are realistic proofs and very practical. Those claiming that the earth is flat should also come up with there practical proofs instead of relying on the Internet which doesn't give realistic proofs. I believe more in practicals than theories and I'll never believe the earth is flat till I get proofs.
