Measuring Earth's Rotation: Ancient Techniques to Modern Science

In this captivating exploration, we unravel how the Babylonians, as early as 2800 BC, meticulously observed celestial movements and devised sophisticated techniques involving distance, time, arcs, and speed. Their calculations not only laid the groundwork for understanding Earth's spin but also formed the basis for fundamental principles in astronomy and navigation that endure to this day.
