According to the American quarterly magazine Popular Science, a lunar eclipse helped Aristotle figure out Earth’s spherical shape. Since it is round, it casts a shadow over the entire moon. If the Earth is flat, eclipses wouldn’t be a thing because it proves the Earth’s orbit around the sun. If the Earth is flat, the sun and moon would always be above us. When the sun goes in and out of view on the horizon during dawn and dusk, it can't be acting as a spotlight. The easiest way to debunk this is to go outside and watch a sunset or a sunrise. One belief of Flat-Earthers is that the sun and moon are actually above the Earth and act as spotlights toward Earth. The external force that acts upon Foucault's Pendulum and changes its state of motion is the Earth’s rotation, thus proving that the Earth spins on its axis in orbit.
It has to do with Issac Newton’s first law of motion.
It debunks the theory because when it is set in motion, it will change its course by the end of the day.
