INTRODUCTION:
Many centuries ago, it was believed that the shape of the earth was as flat as the table. They thought that "since the land is flat ,when viewed from above the shape of the earth will also be the same", that was an ignorant thought .Recently,researchers, astronauts, experiments and phenomenon has proven with no iota of doubt that the earth is spherical in shape.Here i will give you 8 thrilling proofs of the spherical shape of the earth.viz-a-vi:
. CIRCUM NAVIGATIONAL PROOF:
This proof can also be known as "sailing the whole world "this was experimented by FERDINAND MAGELLAN and JUAN SEBASTIAN ELCANO who completed the experiment.It started on August 10th, 1519,Ferdinand's five ship under his command took off from Seville and crossed the Atlantic ocean and passed through the pacific ocean and arrived in Cebu where he was killed by the Philippines nations in a battle.Juan continued the exploration because Juan was the second in command after Ferdinand. On the 6th of September, 1522 Juan arrived at Seville completing the cir-cum navigation.They did this without coming to any sharp edge or end which the could have fallen.
.CIRCULAR HORIZON:
This particular proof has been experimented and established to be true.This is observed better when one stands on a highly elevated place or height like the mountains or the cliff of a ship. It will be as if the sky appears circular and spherical.
