Short Answer:The ancient Greeks discovered the shape of the Earth was round (sphere) 25 centuries ago.In 1687, Isaac Newton said the Earth was an oblate spheroid (slightly bulged at the equator) due to the centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation..Long Answer:More than 2400 years ago, the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round, knew its size and knew it orbited the Sun.Aristarchus (310 BC -- 230 BC) of Samos is the first on record to have claimed the Earth went around the Sun, a claim which necessitates both the Earth and Sun being round.In the same era (240 BC) Eratosthenes of Alexandria calculated the Earth's circumference (hence radius) to an accuracy of a few percent, using the change in the angle of elevation of the noon Sun between Alexandria and a location that is now Aswan, Egypt.In 1687, Isaac Newton said the shape of Earth should be an oblate ellipsoid (also called oblate spheroid) instead of a sphere and that was confirmed by measurements of French mathematician and physicist Pierre Louis Maupertuis in 1736.
