You can tell the world is round by looking at a lunar eclipse, as the earth's perfectly spherical shadow is projected onto the sun during the event. There are many logical ways to prove that the earth is a globe, if the earth was a flat sphere or a flat rectangle then timezones wouldn't make any sense. Because if for example it's daytime in north america in a hypothetical flat earth then it would also be daytime in europe for example, as the entire earth would be facing the sun which would make timezones completely nonexistent. It's something that ancient civilizations figured out thousands of years ago, also seasons wouldn't make any sense because if one side of the earth was perpetually facing the sun then there would be no change in the seasons.because seasons are due the earth's slightly tilted nature and each side of the equator gets direct and indirect rays from the sun at points during the rotational 365 days. Another simple way is to go to a ship port and watch the ships disappear over the horizon, cause if the earth were flat they would progressively get smaller and smaller until you can no longer see them, which is NOT what happens. in actuality they disappear in a DOWNWARD trajectory with the uppermost portion of the vessel (the smokestack or chimney) the last part to be seen, There are several other ways to prove to yourself the curvataure of the earth by doing some simple research.
