With just your eyes you see it is round as ship masts dissappear last as they sail away. Also with just your eyes it must be round as the curved shadow on the moon surface during a lunar eclipse can only be produced by the shadow of a sphere.

    With just your eyes... And a big lake or sea... And a ship... And the knowledge that water lies level.

    Similarly it's not exactly understood from birth that lunar eclipses are the earth's shadow.

    You gotta work all these things out and make more complicated observations than just looking at the horizon.
