Hard answer as the question could be read as when did people know that the earth is round, or how do people know that the earth is round.
Historically, many people have been credited with the theory of spherical earth, dating back to ancient Greece. Many philosophers of Ancient Greece spoke of earth being round, but most often the credit is given to Pythagoras.
The explanation that the world wasn't flat was by observing changes in altitude and the placement of the stars in different locations as they moved around the pole.
