WHY THE EARTH IS ROUND

i intend on including shear facts in this thread. if you have any contributions, please post them, and if they are good i will edit them in with my post.

1. if a ship leaves a wharf on a very clear day, you can observe that as it moves farther and farther away, the hull appears to sink below the horizon, leaving only the mast visible. if the earth were flat, the ship would simply shrink until it disappeared.

2. when the sun sets, it always appears to be a complete circle. how can this be true if both the earth and the sun were not spherical.

3. manmade satellites can be seen moving by the naked eye. hmmm.... aliens perhaps? i think not

4. look through a telescope at a planet, or better yet, look at the moon when it is 1/3 full about. notice how it is shaped like a crescent? how can this be if it isnt round?

5. all the planets in the solar system have different gravitational strengths, due to their different masses and densities. but yet you say everything in the universe has the same gravity?

thats all for now, ill edit more in when im not lazy perhaps

also, i thank the other posters. many of my ideas come from your posts

Don't you know that ships are a conspiracy?

USE THE FREAKING SEARCH BUTTON.

This has been discussed so many damn times...

yes but im trying to post only things that i think undeniably show that the earth is round

Don't you know that ships are a conspiracy?

Just like everything else that proves these flat earth retards wrong.

How about the existence of the South celestial pole?  That's pretty good evidence.

yes yes, but you see, im trying to post evidence that ordinary ppl can observe without much effort lol

2. when the sun sets, it appears to get larger

Sorry, but that's an optical illusion.

Are you saying people in Australia, Africa, and South America are not ordinary?

read the rest of it, dont just take something i say out of context to make me look bad, it doesnt work.  i didnt say that it actually gets larger, i said it "appears" to get larger. that isnt my main point anyway, read the rest, and then try to deny it.

Like I said, it's an optical illusion, and has nothing to do with the shape of the earth.

fine, i removed that part, any other small details beside the main point that you wish to b*tch about feel free
