Gravity is the answer. All matter, including the Earth, tends to clump together by mutual attraction. This is thought to be the work of an underlying massless particle (the graviton) that carries energy between atoms. On Earth, gravity is observed as attracting matter toward the center of the Earth, regardless of where it may be located, on, below or above the surface.
The more powerful gravity of the Sun keeps the Earth in its orbit, just as the Earth keeps the Moon in orbit. But the Sun is much farther away, and for small masses such as people, the gravity of the Earth is a far more powerful pull.
At the atomic level, the attraction between protons and electrons is electromagnetic -- but the attraction between protons (and neutrons) is a separate force that keeps atoms together. The macrocosmic version of this force is gravity. It is much stronger than the force exerted by the spinning Earth, which would otherwise launch matter at the equator off into space.

Evidences that prove the real shape of the earth?
i dont think that the earth is flat .it is round in shape. if we go a journey around the world we will stop in the place we started .I think the earth is round in shape.
What is a feature of the earth?
One feature of the earth is that it has an ozone layer. Another feature is that the earth has a core. Finally, the earth is a sphere (round).
Why is boat at sea evidence for a round earth?
A boat at sea, alone, does not prove that is earth is round. However, boats can be used to prove that earth is round. This is because if the earth was flat, eventually a boat would sail to the end of earth and fall off the edge. This has never happened, so it can be inferred that the earth is round. Also, a boat can sail all the way around the world and end up right where it started, which proves that the earth is round.
Why is your earth is round and the people living in these planet cannot fall?
The planet is round because in space matter is puled together in a sphere. And gravity is why we don't fall off, (also the atmospheric pressure).
Can you fall off the edge off the world?
No, you cannot fall off the edge of the world. The Earth is a sphere, so there is no physical edge to fall off.
What is a way of showing the round earth on a flat surface?
on a flat map
What did Magellan's prove?
that the earth is round just like what Magellan said ... `The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church"
