The idea that the Earth is a spherical served as the foundation for Christopher Columbus' exploration.
- The church exerted considerable influence over society during the Middle Ages, and the majority of explanations for observed events were perceived as commands from God. As a result, scientific growth made minimal progress during this time.
- At that time, ships were thought to fall when they approached the horizon, and the flat Earth notion was widely accepted across Europe. However, other philosophers asserted that the Earth was a spherical and that this property prevented observers from seeing the full surface of the planet.

<em>I am going to have dinner with my best friend tomorrow.</em>
