Before Measuring You Need To Assume Two Things
1. We know the radius of the earth is approximately 3.963 miles.
2. We have to assume that the earth is perfectly spherical.

EllipsesEllipse - set of all points in a plane, the sum of whose distances form two fixed points in the plane is constant.

Orbits and Effects on Time• The larger the orbit the
longer the year
1 Mars Year = 365/N(365+N)earth days
(N=the number of extra days it takes the Earth to catch up to Mars after the next synod)

Parallax
• The (apparent) displacement of a fixed object with respect to background.
• Caused by displacement of the observer.
