Oh that’s a good idea. In fact with more measurements, it would become harder and harder to ignore them corresponding to a spherical model.
Every degree of latitude would be a degree of shadow angle.
For flat earth, it would be on an inverse tangent curve. Even if it was argued that the air somehow bent the light to distort results, what are the odds that it would do so in a way that exactly matched a sphere?
Someone should set this up as a world-wide science project. It would be easy to coordinate measuring at the same time.
He was obviously employed by NASA. Don’t believe the round earth agenda!
Sheeple never stop to amaze me!
The ground that looks and feels flat is actually flat? Impossible!
A guy 2200 years ago measures how round earth is - with a straight stick? Sure sounds right!

To play devil’s advocate, wouldn’t you get the same result on a flat earth, if the sun was closer enough for rays not to be parallel?
I’m not completely sure, but I guess it’s difficult to fit a flat earth model if you have three or more measurements.
