Final answer:

Aristotle used the shadow of the Earth during an eclipse and observations of different constellations to support his theory that Earth was not flat.


Explanation:

Aristotle used two main arguments to support his theory that the Earth was not flat:

  1. The shadow of the Earth during an eclipse, which always appeared round on the Moon, indicating a spherical Earth.
  2. Observations of different constellations visible in the North and South as travelers moved, suggesting a curved Earth's surface.

Oblate spheroid calculations and Earth's diameter were not specifically mentioned in Aristotle's arguments.
