(meteorobs) simultaneous observation
Hi everybody!
I have spent a little time for this little problem.Here is my
result:
R Earth radius 6367km
h altitude of the observer 1. I took 0.1 km
h' altitude of the second observer. 0.1 km for the calculus
H altitude of the object above the local horizon of the first observer.
d is the distance on the Earth between the two points.
Used the radian mode of the calculator.
d= R(Arccos(R/(R+h))+Arccos(R/(R+H))+Arccos(R/(R+h')))
for H=80 km I find a limit distance of 1075 km in the horizon
for H=100 km " 1192 km "
for H=120 km " 1298 km "
Same results as Birger.
Yves.
