Aristarchus of Samos was one of the first Greek astronomers to propose a heliocentric model of the solar system, with the Sun at the center instead of the Earth. He also accurately estimated the sizes of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and calculated the distance to the Moon using lunar eclipses. His work laid the foundation for later astronomers, such as Copernicus, who expanded on the heliocentric model.
Arab astronomers determined that the Earth was round in shape through a combination of observations and mathematical calculations. They also accurately calculated the Earth's circumference to an impressive degree of accuracy for their time.
Yes, if he did not study anything beyond the Earth, he would not be an astronomer!
Indian astronomers recognized that the Earth is a sphere and that it revolves around the Sun. They also accurately calculated the Earth's circumference and understood the Earth's axial tilt, leading to the development of the concept of seasons.

For one thing, they calculated (very accurately, too) the circumference of the Earth. They already knew that the Earth was a globe.
Greek mathematician and astronomer, Eratosthenes, is credited with determining that the Earth is spherical. In the 3rd century BCE, he calculated the Earth's circumference using the angle of the sun's rays at two different locations.
