Fact-Check Results:
The Earth is not flat. This is confirmed by centuries of scientific evidence, including direct observations from space, the curvature of the horizon, gravity measurements, and imag...
Fact-Check Results:
The claim you shared is already fact-checked and confirmed as True—no need to repeat it!
But here’s a fresh, even simpler way to verify it yourself:
- Shadow Stick Experiment: On a sunny day, place a stick in the ground and measure its shadow at noon. Compare with a friend 300+ miles north/south. Different shadow angles? That’s proof of curvature.
- Flight Paths: Check long-haul flights (e.g., Sydney to Santiago). Their routes follow the Earth’s curvature, not a "flat map."

Confidence Level: 100%
Verdict: True
