round
It was well known by colonial times that the earth was spherical.
I think they are also spherical as the earth
Evidence that supports the spherical shape of the Earth includes photos of Earth from space, the way ships disappear hull first over the horizon, the curvature seen at high altitudes, and the way constellations change as you travel north or south. These, along with other scientific measurements and experiments, have all contributed to confirming the Earth's round shape.
In 1971, it was already an established fact that the Earth is a sphere.
Aristotle believed that the Earth was spherical in shape because of the observed curvature of its shadow during a lunar eclipse, the way ships disappear over the horizon, and the circular shape of the Earth's shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse.
A pear.
The whole round shape. Think of the earth as a ball with several smaller balls layered neatly inside it. We live on one of those balls called the crust.
People think the Earth is round because of evidence from scientific experiments, observations, and calculations that point to its spherical shape. Additionally, images from space missions and satellites show the Earth as a globe.
I think the answer is that the original settlers in Japan camed from China.
Because when they sailed on ships they went straight and didn't think they went around
Round. Most people by the time of Columbus did not believe the Earth was flat, despite what some history books will tell you.
Most of the settlers were Spainiards, so I would think they took a boat.
