Dear MEL Topic Readers,
We have known that Earth is round for over 2000 years
Very simple, yet people denied or didn’t accept the fact. You need neither
to sail all around the globe nor go into space to see the earth to find earth
is a globe.
Here are some examples that people in ancient times knew.
- the sun’s position at the same time in two different places
- the stars seen in northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere
- only the top of a faraway mountain is seen over the horizon before
the rest of it
Enjoy reading and thinking how obvious and convincing these evidences
are.
