    The Earth has been known to be round for over 2000 years, but it was only when humans flew into space that we could see this directly. While it was known long ago that we do not fall off the Earth, understanding why is much more recent. A journey to the center proposed by Jules Verne was impossible. It is now understood that the Earth is composed of soil, rocks, water, and is surrounded by an atmosphere.
