Measure Earth Radius


Astrolabe was the medieval times smartphone it could measure angles calculate the earth radius tell time and position do astronomical calculation similar to a dynamic mechanical computer it could as well be used in both day and night used weidly during the islamic golden age in calinders prayer times as well as Holidays not to mention astronomy/astrology back then they were in one feild of study.

this humble project is to encourage people of differant age skills to try and Calculate the radius of the earth inspired by the works of Al Bairuni the 10th century polymath.

if you could kindly share your scores/feedback share it with your friends and family and hopefully enjoy the experience

the Game contains some behind the scenes equations and tricks used to make this game/interactive experience.

make sure to check the sources and hopefully fall in love with polymath related topics what I suggest personally to go next is to learn bout astronomy get to know about astrolabe read some books written by these great thinkers and maybe use modern tools like your smartphone instead this is simply a more accessible and hopefully easy way to try it out and maybe spark an interest in these feilds that might be usefull for differant feilds or could be the basis of a new invention maybe Science-money-quality of life and human/scientific progress usually comes from mixing differant feilds that might not seem related at first.

Finally feel free to ask me about the making of this project.
