It’s easy to see that the surface of the earth is a ball - or at least a curved surface - simply by going to the seaside and watching ships dip below the horizon before they fully disappear. The ancient Greeks proved it was a ball and measured the dimensions of it using mathematics, but the concept of a curved earth was known to seafarers long before that. |
