So, how can we experimentally find the circumference of Earth using Eratosthenes's method?
Eratosthenes measured the circumference of Earth on a solstice, so that the rays of the sun were directly overhead at Syene. Can we use a similar method to experimentally calculate the circumference of Earth from LaFayette on a day that is not a solstice day?
