How did Ferdinand Magellan figure out that the world was round?
Among the ancient Greeks, Homer thought the world to be flat. In contrast, Pythagoras postulated that the earth was round. A century later, Aristotle sided with the theory of the roundness of the earth.
Leave it to the clever Greek investigator Eratosthenes to bring it all together with a calculation (and a remarkably accurate one!) about the diameter of the earth, and also the inclination of its axis of rotation to its orbital plane about the sun.
Centuries later, independent work was done by Muslims as Europe descended into the Dark Ages. By the 9th century, many Muslim scholars took it for granted that the Earth was a sphere. The proof, said astronomer Ibn Hazm, "is that the Sun is always vertical to a particular spot on Earth". It was 500 years before that realisation dawned on Galileo. The calculations of Muslim astronomers were so accurate that in the 9th century they reckoned the Earth's circumference to be 40,253.4km --less than 200 km out. Later Europeans mistakenly attribute the work for Nicolaus Copernicus.
Edited just correction : with all respect to the one who answered the question, the Europeans did not thought that Copernicus discovred the Earth's Circumference mistakenly , in fact it he stole it and add it to his books is if it was his own work.
What is the causes of Magellan mutiny?
The five ships were having many difficulties. All 5 ships were running out of food and water. I think (this is just my guess) that the crew of one ship got mad and tired enough of the trip. The one ship was overthrown. The crew of this one ship sailed back to where they ported off. At least that's what I would do in there position (actually I would pray to God to bring us to shore soon, because I'm Christian.)
What was the purpose of Magellan trip?
To make the first complete circumnavigational trip around the world by boat. 5 ships left Spain commended by Ferdinand Magellan. He was killed in the Philippines by the natives. However, one of the five ships did manage to sail around the world sailing in a eastern direction, until it returned to Spain.
What was Ferdinand Magellan's greatest accomplishments?
His ships were the first to navigate the world. He was killed in the Philippines, but his men made it home.
What were Ferdinand Magellan biggest failures?
Magellan failed when he went on an expedition and didn't make it alive.
