Which of the following is not a proof to show that the earth is spherical in shape?
Explanation
Sunrise and sunset happen on all planets regardless of their shape. Even a flat Earth could have day and night.
Aerial photos show Earth’s curved surface. During lunar eclipses, Earth casts a round shadow on the moon.
Ships disappearing over the horizon proves the Earth is round, but sunrise and sunset do not.
