Eratosthenes, an ancient Greek mathematician, calculated the size of Earth over 2,200 years ago using sunlight, shadows, and geometry.
Working in Alexandria, Egypt, he compared the Sun's position in two cities to estimate the size of our planet without modern technology.
One of the most remarkable achievements in ancient Greek mathematics, astronomy, and scientific history!
