What beliefs about earth and the heavens were proved by the discoveries of Aristarchus and Eratasthenes?
Aristarchus of Samos proposed that the Earth orbits the Sun, introducing the heliocentric model, which challenged the prevailing geocentric view. Eratosthenes, through his measurements of shadows in different locations, calculated the Earth's circumference, providing evidence of its spherical shape. Together, their discoveries advanced the understanding of the Earth's place in the cosmos and its physical dimensions, laying groundwork for future astronomical studies.
What is the longest distance from one place to another?
The longest possible distance from one place to another on the surface of the earth is half of the earth's circumference.(If it were any further, you could go around the other way, which would be shorter.)Since the earth bulges slightly around the equator, the equator has the greatest circumference of any circle on the earth. The equatorial diameter is 7,926 miles (12,756 km) so the circumference at the equator is (7,926 x pi) = 24,900 miles (40,074 km).The longest possible distance between one place and another on the earth is 12,450 miles (20,037 km).
Was Columbus the first person to discover that the earth is round?
Eratosthenes of Cyrene first put the motion forward and even calculated the diameter, but Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei first put the idea into the public eye. Ferdinand Magellan was the first one to sail around the world.
What is the exact location of a place on earth based upon a latitude and longitude?
That is called the coordinates of the place.
If entire societies are buried under sediment why hasn't the earth's circumference gotten larger over time?
where is the sediment coming from? earth of course. what builds up in one place wore down from another.
If a circle has a diameter of 6 what is the circumference to 1 decimeal place?
If a circle has a diameter of 6 the circumference is about 18.9
Which is an example of a piece ofinformation based on place?
An example of a piece of information based on place is the geographic coordinates of a specific location, such as latitude and longitude. This information provides the exact position of a place on Earth's surface.
What is the circumference of a plate with a diameter of 4.3?
Circumference of plate: 4.3*pi = 13.5 rounded to one decimal place
Can you fly an earth small circle?
YES. A small circle is simply a circle around the earth that does not fly over the direct opposite place on earth that a plane took off from. A great circle goes full circumference of earth, where a small circle does not. Being a circle they both fly in a constant direction.
Tape measure to find the circumference and the diameter of a place. The circumference was 35 and the diameter OS 11. Find the number of diameter in the circumference.?
11 is a good approximation of the diameter. If the circumference is 35, the actual diameter is about 11.14 (35/3.1416).
That place was Mordor based on?
Mordor wasn't based on a place. Tolkien created the whole world of middle earth. There are many that believe that Mordor was based upon Tolkien's experience with trench warfare of World War 1, miles and miles of scorched earth criss crossed with pits and gulleys and bomb craters.
If you have the diamater 4.2cm how would you find out the circumference?
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter Circumference = pi*4.2 = 13.19468915 or 13.2 cm to one decimal place
