Detailed explanation-1: -The surviving members of the expedition then continued to China, becoming the first Europeans to circumnavigate the globe. This was an incredible achievement, and it provided the first conclusive proof that the Earth is a spherical object.
Detailed explanation-2: -Magellan proved the Earth was round by leading the first expedition to travel around the world. Magellan and other navigators had long believed that the Earth was round and the reason expeditions sailed east was because it was a shorter distance than going west.
Detailed explanation-3: -Magellan did prove that the Earth was round when his expedition sailed around the globe. Most navigators and explorers at the time believed the world was round but did not sail west because they estimated the distance was too far.
Detailed explanation-4: -Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and that the world was much larger than had previously been imagined.
Detailed explanation-5: -In September 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. Three years later only one ship, the Victoria (depicted on a 1590 map), made it back to Spain after circumnavigating the world. Five hundred years ago, Ferdinand Magellan began a historic journey to circumnavigate the globe. Simple, right?
