No nope it wasn't Columbus neither Magellan it was Juan Sebastian Elcano. Magellan didn't complete the circumnavigation because he died before the battle of Mactan in Pre colonial Philippines and Elcano continued the voyage back to Spain with Victoria (the only surviving ship of 5 from Magellan's expedition)
You have your explorers mixed. Amerigo Vespucci explored the Americas in the early 1500s. Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigated the globe 1519-1522.
Two explorers who sailed for the monarch of Spain are Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan. Columbus is credited with discovering the Americas in 1492, while Magellan's expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522.
Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522. Although he did not survive the entire journey, having been killed in the Philippines in 1521, his fleet continued under the command of Juan Sebastián Elcano. The expedition successfully returned to Spain in 1522, completing the first recorded voyage around the world.
The first successful expedition to circumnavigate the globe was Ferdinand Magellan. The Portuguese explorer sailed around the Earth from 1519 to 1522.

Ferdinand Magellan did not invent anything. He was a Portuguese explorer who is known for leading the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522, even though he died during the voyage.
The 1519-1522 expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the globe, and thus the first to discover the sea route around Cape Horn, at the tip of South America.
Ferdinand Magellan was a male, not a female. He led the first expedition to successfully circumnavigate the globe. The expedition started out in 1519 and returned to Spain in 1522, but without Magellan, who had been killed the year before.
Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1519-1522, which was the first to circumnavigate the globe, provided evidence that Columbus had not reached Asia but rather the Americas. Additionally, explorers like Amerigo Vespucci, who mapped the coast of South America, argued that the lands Columbus encountered were part of a new continent, distinct from Asia. Their findings ultimately led to the recognition of the Americas as separate from Asia.
