We know the Earth is round through various observations, such as ships disappearing hull-first over the horizon, the circular shadow cast on the Moon during a lunar eclipse, and direct satellite images from space. 4. The horizon is the apparent line that separates the Earth from the sky. 5. The layer of air around the Earth is called the atmosphere. 6. The continents are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. The oceans are: Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. 7.
