Actually the Earth is later described in Isaiah 40:22 as a sphere. The waters of the heavens described in Genesis chapter 1 was a very dense cloud cover that would've inhibited the light coming from an already existing sun and stars to reach the earth, which is where the "viewer" of the events of creation would have watched everything unfold. When the waters and waters are divided in verse 2 it would have allowed an expansion between the two, having a space of clear air in between.

Dude, Genesis 1:1, in the beginning God created the heavens and Earth. First day. The earth talked about in day three (not day two) was dry land, or as it says 'a division between the seas.

Actually 2 peter 3:8 uses a similar expression in the original Greek as to what was used in the original Hebrew in Genesis when it says 'day'. And it explains that a day is as to a thousand years. Basically the word the writer (Moses) used when he wrote Genesis didn't necessarily mean a 24 hour period. It was also used to indicate periods of time. In other parts of the Hebrew Bible the same word is used when talking about the period of time in which a specific person would have lived, or ruled in some cases.
