the nile river it flows 4,258 miles south to north. starting ten degrees below the equator. the Tapti river in india flows east to west , at the same time the nile river is flowing on a earth spinning  at 1000 miles an hour going west to east .  then on top of all that the land surface is 30% the water surface is 70% and it hurling through space at 600,000 miles an hour  ....many of you are comfortable with the equations but math is like any language you can lie in any language .
last but not least what year was the earth determined a globe ? by what experiment we can go to too verify the results?

Well , to answer most of your questions .

I don't Visit Earth often enough to give a good analysis on the WTF of that Planet .

there is a Bunch of water on Earth , we found that out when one of our craft tried to land

on that pretty blue Grass , turned out to be water of course .

I like the Tacos , those are cool

Pizza too

I noticed rivers , and they seem to run in all directions , but baffling , is that they never
seem to run out of water ,,,

well , now many of them do .

" what year was Earth determined to be a Globe ? " , well , no one back then had a Calendar so it's a Guess at best .

I'd say , oh ,,,, about the time women began wearing Stylized Hair Doo's , reason being , until they became
dissatisfied with their Natural Beauty , no one gave a shit about placing names on anything .

so , given that fact
Earth was first called " Grunt oooga ooogga " and everyone was good with that .

Primarily because it was just a place to shit .

Ok , all done

Have you got anything on Trees ?

I like the Trees , sad those are disappearing though .

oh , before I go , on Water again , um ,,, Sharks ,,, Those I don't like .

why do you guys have those things ?

like this though , cute Puppy with a Little Person

The earliest reliably documented mention of the spherical Earth concept dates from around the 6th century BC when it appeared in ancient Greek philosophy[1][2] but remained a matter of speculation until the 3rd century BC, when Hellenistic astronomy established the spherical shape of the Earth as a physical given. The paradigm was gradually adopted throughout the Old World during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.[3][4][5][6] A practical demonstration of Earth's sphericity was achieved by Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano's expedition's circumnavigation (1519−1522).

you can circumnavigate a plate. it was always speculation until auguste piccard took a ballon and went straight up and hit the dome. space is science fiction.

Until 500 years ago the earth was flat
No doubt about
She has always been flat just like a giant pizza capricciosa with the turned up edge crust to contain the water
But sailors back then has no idea the water was contained by the crust so they were very nervous when navigating towards the edge in case they would slide off into the abyss

Even Jesus who had previously made the celestial pizzas with his own hands so he knew what he was talking about
He said to his disciples: go and spread my gospels to the four corners of the world.
The church used to kill the heretics who claimed otherwise
The shape changed from pizza to sphere around 600 years ago when the bible was printed and the Protestants started protesting.
Then Galileo made the absurd claim and he was tortured and blinded to stop h peering into his telescope
The rest is history

And that's exactly how it happened.
