Suppose that Aristarchus had found that the interval from third quarter to first quarter moon was 14 days, and that the interval from first quarter to third quarter moon was 15 days. Then what distance would he have derived for the Sun (in terms of, or relative to, the Moon’s distance from
the Earth)?
I am kinda stuck on this question...any help would be useful!!
