Three satellites are necessary to determine position and a set of three satellites would be enough to provide this data to the entire planet if the Earth was flat, according to Keijer. After all, 24 different satellites constantly orbit the Earth for the positional and navigational information that it provides. He adds that even the global positioning system or GPS, which people use daily in their regular lives, proves that the Earth is round. "Nautical charts are designed with that in mind: that the Earth is round," Henk Keijer, who used to be a cruise ship captain with about 23 years of navigation under his belt, explains in an interview with the Guardian.
