Any object is made up of the sum of its parts. Furthermore, if the whole's parts are in turn made up of smaller parts, then the whole also can be said to contain those smaller parts.

Since any feature of a part would by definition also be contained within the whole, it could be said that the whole contains at least in part the properties of all its parts.

We know that the Earth contains round objects upon it, such as sports balls and my nuts. Therefor, it can be logically concluded that the Earth has the property of roundness within it. Therefor, the Earth is round.
