It's not obvious. If it were obvious, Aristotle would not need to make his famous three arguments for that: ships disappearing bottom first, shifting constellations as one goes north or south, and the shadow on the moon during lunar eclipse always being round (rather than sometimes round and sometimes elliptical).
