swansont Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Are you limited to certain equipment? If you have line-of-sight, you can do it with a laser, but you need some other equipment. You could also use GPS if you have sky exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any real situation that you are in right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 If it's two points on the surface of the Earth, you can measure the difference in angle of shadows at the two locations at the same time to get a fraction of a circle, then multiply by the circumference of the Earth. But I agree, we need more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
