Simply by observing the position of celestial objects such as the sun & stars ! If the Earth didn't rotate, the sun would be in exactly the same position each day, and the side of the planet away from the sun would be frozen ! Additionally, if the earth wasn't rotating, the stars would be in exactly the same places in the night-sky !

How can you prove that the earth rotates on its axis?

One way to prove that the Earth rotates on its axis is through the Coriolis effect, which causes moving objects to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect is observed in phenomena such as the rotation of hurricanes and the direction of ocean currents. Additionally, the Foucault pendulum demonstrates the Earth's rotation by gradually changing its orientation as it swings back and forth.
