Fact-Check Results:
This claim is false. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, confirmed by over 2,000 years of scientific evidence, including observations of lunar eclipses, gravity, satellite imagery, and direct measurements from space. The idea of a flat Earth is a long-debunked myth with no credible scientific support.

You can verify this yourself by:
- Watching a lunar eclipse: The Earth's shadow on the Moon is always round, which only happens if Earth is spherical.
- Observing ships disappear hull-first over the horizon.
- Using public tools like Google Earth or NASA's Worldview to see real-time satellite images of Earth.
