Is this magic?

The Radius of an Orbit found from the Radius of the Orbiter. This only applies to orbiters having axial rotation. An experiment: A bicycle with wheels of 10″ radius cycles round a velodrome and completes the course in 740 turns. This makes the radius of the velodrome track 10″ x 740 = 7400″ (or 616.6…

A formula for finding the length of a degree.

The length of a degree is in a ratio to the radius of a circle. (The centre of the circle is the eye! The viewing device). Whatever length of unit is used to define one, equally dictates the other. Earths radius of 3963 miles produces a degree length of 24887.64 ÷ 360 = 69.13 miles.…

Distance to the Sun
DATA: Earth’s circumference is 24887.64 miles (40044.2 km) 24887.64 x 365.25 cycles (days of a year) = 9090210 miles. The radius of this circle is 1447485.7 miles, the distance to the Sun The Sun appears to be 0.5 degrees. The length of the circle divided by 720 (360×2) will give the real diameter of the…
