How did Aristotle first prove the earth was round

Sagot :

Aristotle noticed that there were star constellations that could be seen in what is today the south of Europe that couldn't be seen further north, or more generally speaking that the night sky changed as one moved further away from the equator. Since that wouldn't be possible if the earth had a flat surface, he concluded that the earth had to be round.
