From his measurements, Roemer estimated that it took 22 mm for light to travel a distance equal to the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. (a) Use this estimate along with the known diameter of Earth’s orbit to obtain a rough value of the speed of light. (b) Light actually takes 16.5 mm to travel this distance. Use this time to calculate the speed of light.
