Round 1
Earth is round, not flat
The Earth can be round due to the Earth's own gravity, thus making the Earth round.
The Earth can be round due to the Earth's own gravity, thus making the Earth round.
PROOF THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND
1.LUNAR ECLIPSE.
..: https://science.nasa.gov/moon/eclipses/
A lunar eclipse can prove that the Earth is round through the shadow of the Earth on the moon.
During a lunar eclipse, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, so that the sunlight that should be directed towards the moon is blocked by the Earth and produces a shadow.
2.HULL-DOWN
.: https://flatearth.ws/t/hull-down
A ship that moves away will begin to disappear from its bottom part, and that is the effect of the Earth's curvature.The curvature of the Earth can also be seen from a significant height.
Conclusion.
The Earth is round because of gravity, and also the shape of the Earth can be seen from the shadow of the Earth during a lunar eclipse. A ship that moves away will also disappear from its bottom part as if the ship is sinking, and that proves the Earth is round because it has a curvature.

Round 2
Argument 2
Flat earthers do not believe in the existence of gravity, they believe everything that is above will fall down [1]
However, the sun and the moon in the flat earth concept are above the earth
, but those objects do not fall to the earth?
It proves that the existence of gravity keeps the sun and the moon in their orbits, and the existence of gravity proves that the earth is actually round
