| Jan 21, 2022 at 18:28 | comment | added | David White | The moon is spherical, the sun is spherical, all the planets are spherical, and all other large celestial bodies that we can get a good look at are spherical. How does the earth know that it is supposed to be flat?! | |
| Jan 21, 2022 at 16:02 | comment | added | Andrew Steane | Answers here give you many lines of evidence. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned global air traffic control which is based on round Earth model and would not work for flat Earth model. Also satellite orbits etc. But I think a useful point to make is that relying on authority plays a much bigger role in all kinds of reasonableness than perhaps some scientists realize. What one then needs is a good sense for which authorities to trust. That is about developing wisdom. | |

| Oct 15, 2018 at 7:03 | comment | added | SBF | @Qmechanic: thanks for a reminder, looked at that question and wanted to mention that the reason for asking my separately is that answers there mostly focus on the local shape. | |
