Feedback

Aristotle argued the shadow on the Moon is round in lunar eclipses, indicating a spherical Earth.

Changing star altitudes with latitude suggested a curved surface.

Using angle and distance, he estimated Earth’s circumference.

If shadows differ at the same moment, surface curvature is implied.

Ancient Egyptians linked Sirius and Nile floods to calendar and agriculture.

Solar annual path helped farmers know planting and harvest times.

Stars served as celestial navigation guides for voyaging.

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon’s shadow falls on Earth.

As Earth overtakes outer planets, they seem to retrograde.

Planetary speed varies with area swept; faster near the Sun.
