Driving Distance

1. Measure horizontal distance extremely accurately between 2 points.
2. Drive it
3. Measure driving distance. Curve should make driving distance a fair bit longer.

Sun and Moon Size

Need to find what angular size the sun would be throughout a day if at 4000 miles away. Then calculate the size and size of the moon.

Perhaps lunar waves are wakes from aircraft. Could test!

Moon Angle and Orientation

With an observer in Australia, we could potentially find a time where we could both see the moon, then take a picture, measure the angles, and calculate both flat and globe how it makes sense.
