To calculate how many six-foot-tall people it would take to wrap around the Earth, first note that the Earth's circumference is about 24,901 miles, which is approximately 131,477,280 feet. Dividing this by the height of a six-foot person (6 feet) gives about 21,912,880 people. Thus, it would take roughly 21.9 million six-foot-tall individuals standing side by side to encircle the Earth.

Hard answer as the question could be read as when did people know that the earth is round, or how do people know that the earth is round.

Many philosophers of Ancient Greece spoke of earth being round, but most often the credit is given to Pythagoras. The explanation that the world wasn't flat was by observing changes in altitude and the placement of the stars in different locations as they moved around the pole.
