Question
Provide reliable evidence to prove that the earth is spherical in shape.
✓
Answer
The earth can be clearly seen spherical in the photographs from the satellite. Other proofs are the sight of the mast of a ship first before the ship appears, varying heights of the poles fired at different places at an interval of 5 km, through the Bedford Level Experiment and the sight of Pole Star at 90° from the North Pole and the view of the earth’s horizon as a circular from higher altitudes.
