11. Gravity
If the Earth were a flat plane, its center of mass would be the center of the plane and the force of gravity will pull anything on the surface in that direction. This means that if you stand near the edge of the plane, gravity will be pulling you sideways toward the middle of the plane.
12. Variations in the Earth’s gravitational field
Earth’s gravity is slightly weaker at the equator than at the poles. There are two reasons for this. First, since a point at the equator spins faster than a point at a pole, the outward centripetal force at latitudes near the equator is greater and counteracts the Earth’s gravity more. The second reason is that the Earth’s equatorial bulge (itself also caused by the centripetal force) causes objects at the equator to be farther away from the Earth’s center than objects at the pole, and the gravitational pull between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The variations in Earth’s gravitational attraction can be measured and provide concrete evidence of the Earth’s shape.
13. The Earth’s shadow
During a lunar eclipse, the sun, Earth, and the moon are aligned such that the Earth’s shadow falls onto the moon. The Earth’s shadow has been observed to be curved as the planet is.
!mute @I have a lot of work?

Someone: gives a lot of reasoning
Flat earthers: quake and kick
I laugh
Personally I think the earth is a giant cube
Flat surfaces
yes lad
I think the earth is round what about you?
yes. round but flat
flat-surfaced to be more precise.
what is underneath is anyone's guess.
and so I have no problem with "gravity" in the mainstream definition.
one could imagine a mass distribution under the surface that could explain everything we observe
The problem is...
Those are ancient pictures.
and?
Nobody knew (back then) what earth looked like.
no. it's the opposite.
people today don't
because they tell you that you live on a ball.
but when you take a balloon up to 120k feet
Now because of advanced tech (and NASA information) we know the earth is round.
you see this
Yes.
What about it?
wheres the ball?
