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.


What mathematical evidence can be used to prove that the Earth is round?

One mathematical evidence that can prove the Earth is round is the observation of the curvature of the Earth's surface. As one travels long distances, the angle of the horizon changes, which can be calculated using geometry to show that the Earth is not flat but curved.

How did Copernicus prove that the earth wasn't in the middle of the universe?

Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
