The ancient Greek Eratosthenes found that the Sun casts different lengths of shadow at different points on Earth. There were no shadows at midday in Aswan as the Sun was directly overhead. 800 kilometers north, in Alexandria, shadow lengths were found to show the Sun at 7.2 degrees from overhead at midday. Use these measurements to calculate the radius of Earth.
