Calculates geometric differences between spherical and planar models of Earth using various physical principles. The tool guides users through three distinct experiments, allowing them to input variables like altitude, distance, and angles to compare expected measurements under both round and flat assumptions. It provides comparative results for phenomena such as the curvature of water surfaces or the apparent position of celestial bodies relative to a curved surface model.
Students and individuals interested in geometry, physics, or cosmology can use this resource to explore fundamental concepts about Earth’s shape. It serves as an educational aid for understanding how specific physical laws and geometric calculations differ when applied to different planetary geometries. Users may employ it to test hypotheses regarding the planet's true curvature based on observable data points.
