There are many people who still believe the earth is flat. Everyday, flat earthers are
still in a mission to prove that the earth is flat and not round. Their evidence that the
earth is flat is so dumb that it will make you cringe. A number of ancient cultures
believed that the Earth was flat because, simply, they didn’t know any better. But
today, there remain people who still believe that the Earth is flat, despite centuries of
evidence proving the contrary.
The earth being round is easily proven by just looking at the sky in the night, looking
at the moon. The moon is round when you look up in the sky and they say “it is just
the earth we are proving that is flat not the moon.” And then what can they say about
the moon? Looking at the horizon in the beach also looks round when you stare at
the horizon afar away. If the earth is flat, where is the edge of the earth? If you were
able to walk straight for days and years you would be going back the same place as
you were you started. A flat earther person would say, “You all believe the earth is
round because science said so!” Yes I believe on science because the evidence being
the earth is round is already written in the book. People who believe that the Earth is
flat aren’t coming to that conclusion from the same types of observations. They
instead, believe that we are being misled and lied to, that scientists want you to
believe that the Earth is round, despite its flatness.

repeating trajectory. Because of this, the earth’s movement is in circular motion and
it is spinning.
