Measuring the radius of the Earth in 200 BC
Originally formulated for the planets in the Solar system, but they Eratosthenes of Cyrene measured the shadow cast by a vertical stick
apply to any closed orbit (changing “Sun” by whatever applies). at noon in Alexandria and Syene
length of the shadow
1. Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit, with the Sun at one θ~
focus of the ellipse. P length of the stick
PF + PF’ = constant

1. A line from the Sun to the given planet sweeps out equal Alexandria
areas in equal times
➙ Angular momentum about the Sun is conserved. Syene
θ (no shadow)
➙ Faster near the Sun distance between Alexandria and Syene

3. The periods of the planets are proportional to the 3/2 radius of the Earth
