Eratosthenes of Cyrene measured a solar shadow at about 7.2o from the perpendicular in a well at Alexandria, Egypt, but no solar shadow (0o from the perpendicular) in a well at Syene, Egypt, 490 miles to the south, at midday on the summer solstice. From these measurements, he was able to calculate: that the circumference of the Earth is about 73,500 miles that the circumference of the Earth is about 61,250 miles that the circumference of the Earth is about 49,000 miles that the circumference of the Earth is about 36,750 miles E. that the circumference of the Earth is about 24,500 miles
The current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 415 ppmv. It has been estimated that annual anthropogenic additions to the atmosphere are about 30 gigatonnes (Gt), of which about 15 Gt are removed into oceans and the terrestrial environment. a) Use these values to estimate the yearly net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide mixing ratio, in ppmv. (note that 1 Gt = 1015g)
