Hey, Scanlocrates it's your longtime friend Jadeaphonies. Some rumor has been going around saying you do not believe the earth is round? Well I’m here to tell you that you’re really wrong I mean why would I lie to you we have been friends forever. Weren't you there during the lunar eclipse? I am going to tell you exactly why the earth is round. You do not want everyone to think you’re dumb. But I your best friend and at that a Geologist am here to make you smart again.
One day I saw a ship coming over toward me, But I first saw nothing then a flag coming from a curved end as if going up then later on I saw the whole a whole ship.Answer me this if the Earth was flat wouldn’t I have seen the whole ship at one time from afar. Do you know why this is? it is because of the horizon exists to separate the earth and the sky. This is like when you and a person are standing on opposite sides of a mountain and you cannot see each other, But then the person starts to run up a mountain and as they come up you are beginning to see different parts of their bodies first Head, Torso, then Legs. At first Scanlocrates you were not able to see the boat …show more content…
The moon was covered by a big round sphere which was the earth. If the earth was flat it would not cover a round object. The reason this happens is because the earth's shadow is covering the moon to make this happen the sun was used as the light source and, object covering the surface was the earth and the surface of course was the moon. A shadow of the earth covers the moon and caused the shadow to reflect upon the moon because of the sun hitting it. This describes the shape of the earth based on what's reflecting on the moon. For example if it was a dog blocking the light the reflection on the moon would be a dog. Same goes for any other shape, But in this case it was a sphere she the earth's shape
