      The earth is not flat. It is more in shape like that of an orange. Spherical, definitely NOT flat.

      If you stand at the beach side with a port nearby so that you have the possibility of observing incoming ships, then you would notice that ships don’t just appear on the sea, rather they emerge (slowly rising above to view) from the waves of the sea. This is an example that the Earth is round and not flat.

      You can think of an ant moving along an orange. If you keep the orange fixed, then as the ant moves along you would first just see the head of the ant and the rest of it would slowly appear as it moves along the curvature of the orange and not in a straight line.
