Geodesy measures the various positions and points on the Earth.
A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can also measure altitude!
An astronomical measure of distance is called?
Use a piece of string to measure between the two cities and then measure the string with a ruler.
Weight is the measure of the earth's pull of an object.
No, mass is the measure of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of gravitational force needed to keep the object grounded.
