True or False
People believed the Earth was flat before Columbus.
False. The ancient Greeks, like Aristotle, had already proven the Earth was spherical centuries before Columbus. This knowledge was well-established among educated Europeans and sailors. The debate during Columbus's time wasn't about the Earth's shape, but its circumference. Columbus severely underestimated the Earth's size, which nearly cost him and his crew their lives.
