Is the World Flat?

Post by President Darcy of Anthel »

The official scale on the political map of Micras states that one degree is 6.917 miles, a figure derived by dividing the length of the equator by 360.<br>
<br>
If this is the length of one degree of longitude at <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>all latitudes</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, then Micras is flat. If Micras is a globe, then the scale is wrong for all latitudes other than the equator. (We might assume that Micras has no polar flattening, in which case the 6.917 miles figure is correct for one degree of latitude anywhere).<br>
<br>
Can we please have an official response. I want to know whether or not the combined land area of the Gotzborg-Anthelia-Natopia continent and island is really bigger than Russia (as is suggested by a calculation that assumes a flat world).<br>

Micras is a perfect sphere. I do not remember all the equations that were made when we implemented this, but it worked out that way.<br>
<br>
Whereas Earth is somewhat elongated at the equator (stretched), Micras is perfectly round.

OK, let me expand on that.<br>
<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://anthelia.net/trig.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>
The diagram shows a quarter sector of a slice through the globe. The vertical red line is the polar axis.<br>
<br>
At the equator, the circumference is given by 2*pi*R. To find the circumference at a different latitude, we need to know the length of the chord, parallel to the equator, at that latitude. This is the line 'Q'.<br>
<br>
Since the radius at any latitude is a constant on the perfectly spherical Micras, the length of Q is given by simple trogonometry ... <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Q=cos(x)*R</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.<br>
<br>
Calculating the circumference at latitude X is equally simple, it is 2*pi*Q.<br>
<br>
So, the full calculation for the length of one degree of longitude at a latitude of X degrees north or south is -<br>
<br>

If Micras was hollow, then the acceleration due to gravity would have been much smaller; I used the assumption for the calculation of g_Micras that the average density was the same as Earth.<br>
<br>
Not including the fact that it would mean that there would be g = 0 inside the planet.
