Early ideas about di shape of di Earth bin believe say di Earth dey flat (see flat Earth), and di heavens dey like physical dome wey dey cover am. Two early arguments wey support say di Earth na sphere na say lunar eclipses dey show as circular shadows wey fit only happen if di Earth na sphere, and say Polaris dey lower for di sky as person dey travel South.

Di early Greeks, for their thinking and theorizing, dey argue from di flat disc wey Homer talk about to di spherical body wey Pythagoras talk about. Pythagoras idea later get support from Aristotle. Pythagoras na mathematician and to am, di most perfect shape na sphere. E reason say di gods go create perfect shape and so di Earth na sphere. Anaximenes, one early Greek philosopher, believe strongly say di Earth na rectangle.

Since di spherical shape get plenty support during di Greek Era, dem begin dey try find out di size. Plato talk say di circumference of di Earth (wey dey slightly over 40,000 km) na 400,000 stadia (wey dey between 62,800 and 74,000 km or 46,250 and 39,250 mi) while Archimedes estimate am as 300,000 stadia (48,300 km or 30,000 mi), using di Hellenic stadion wey scholars generally believe say na 185 meters or of a geographical mile. Plato own figure na guess and Archimedes own na more conservative approximation.

Answer dis series of questions:

1. When geodesy start?
2. When e shine well well?
3. Which Greek argue say Earth na flat?
4. Who argue say Earth na perfect sphere?
5. Who later agree with am?
6. Why Pythagoras think say Earth na sphere?
7. Who think say Earth na rectangle?
8. Who be Anaximenes?
9. How early ideas describe di heavens?
10. How Polaris position change as person dey go South?
11. Wetin Plato measure?
12. Wetin e use measure am?
13. Wetin e measure di circumference as?
14. Wetin range of km dis convert to?
15. E pass Earth actual circumference for km?
16. Wetin be di actual value for km?
17. Plato and Archimedes reach di same measurement?
18. Wetin be Archimedes estimate?
19. Using wetin kind of stadia?
20. How Plato take reach im estimate?
