Fact-Check Results:
This claim is false. The Earth is a proven oblate spheroid (almost round), supported by centuries of scientific evidence, including direct observations from space, gravity measurements, and the behavior of shadows and time zones. You can verify this yourself by observing ships disappear hull-first over the horizon, tracking the round shadow of Earth during a lunar eclipse, or even flying in a high-altitude aircraft and seeing the curvature.
For more hands-on proof, use a telescope or watch live streams from the International Space Station (ISS) to see the Earth's curvature directly.
