      It depends on your view – some might argue that it is!
      If you were to travel around the world, you would end up back at your starting place which would suggest that it is not flat.

      Nope. If if you were to travel any direction in a straight line, you would eventually come back to where you started, which suggests the world isn’t flat, but a sphere. Also of you go up high enough into the atmosphere, you can see the curvature of the Earth, especially if you go into space – the Earth looks like a big ball 🙂

      Nope, we have photos of the earth from space, and planes fly around the world every day.
