Who was the first European explorer to explore land that became part of the us was it christopher Columbus or juan ponce de leon or Giovanni da verrazano or Amerigo Vespucci?

Actually, new scholarship has examined the proof that Vikings landed in the New World long before Columbus or the Conquistadors. Lief Erikson landed on the eastern shore of some unidentified area of North America in the 10th century. The rune stones discovered in Minnesota and Oklahoma seem to support later explorations, and the allegations that Eirik Gnupsson (aka Henricus), Bishop of Greenland made several trips and explorations of Vineland (mainland North America) in the 12th century, but debate rages. (Keep in mind that mainstream archaeology maintained for a century or more that the Clovis people were the first settlers in the Americas, but recent digs have proven the Clovis were predated by--in some cases--1,000 years or more. Simply denying a thing does not make it untrue).

How did humans discover that the earth is round and not flat?

well the earth is round known to the scientists but flat to some people as they can believe. humans discovered that the world is round and not flat from the astronauts and scientist as you think of the man who first went to the moon!

While it is true that men were not able to observe the complete globe until they traveled to space, a Greek astronomer calculated that the earth was actually round about 200 B.C.E. However, the fact of it's spherical shape was not generally accepted until almost a 1000 years later.

More fascinating than that though, is the knowledge that the shape of the earth was recorded in the Bible book of Isaiah about 750 B.C.E. He wrote at Isaiah 40:22 "There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth." The Hebrew word translated "circle" carries the meaning of a complete, or spherical circle.

Even before that, around 1500 B.C.E. Moses (who recorded the account of Job's trails) quoted Job's observation that God was "Hanging the earth upon nothing." (Job 26:7) This is clearly contrary to the common belief of the time that the earth was not only flat, but had to be supported by something, be it the god Atlas, giant elephants, or what have you.
