A long time ago- around Christopher Columbus's time- people use to think that the

Earth was a cube. Scientists now know that the Earth is a sphere.

There is also evidence that it is if you don't believe that - but i highly doubt that. Astronauts that have landed on the moon have seen the Earth and have taken photographs of the Earth. They show that the Earth is a sphere. All the planets that the scientists have discovered so far have all been spheres.
