Lecture 17 Ptolemy on the Motion of the Earth
... Since it is always at the center, it can’t be moving as a whole. or by rotating once/day The earth’s surface would be moving about 1000 miles/hour. The result would be that all objects not actually standing on the earth would appear to have the same motion, opposite to that of the earth; neither clo ...
