Hello all,
Can anyone out there remember who first measured the radius of the earth?
An Egyptian, a Greek? What was his/her name?
(I'm working with a teacher in another city (due north), measuring solar
angles
and calculating the Earth's radius)
Responses can be sent privately to kugelgen@aol.com.
If the answer does not appear on the list, I'll post it for those who might be
interested.
Thanks in advance,
Owen
