∙ 12y agoHis two observers were so close that the time it took for light to go from one to another and back again was too small to be measured with the clocks that he had. Even if he had observers 15,000 kilometers apart, the result would have been a time change of .1 second, too small to be accurately measured with the water clocks available to Galileo.

∙ 12y agoGalileo failed to obtain the speed of light because the speed of light is so fast that it was beyond the technology and methods available to him at that time. The methods and tools required to accurately measure the speed of light had not been developed yet.
Galileo attempted to measure the speed of light using lanterns positioned at known distances and observing the time it took for light to travel between them. He would uncover the lanterns simultaneously and use a telescope to try and detect any delay in the light reaching his eyes. However, his methods were not sensitive enough to accurately measure the speed of light.
Galileo held a pendulum up to his heart and timed the beats. This is what led to the discovery of measuring small amounts of time more accurately.

Galileo did not invent the sector. The sector was actually invented by the French mathematician and engineer, Pierre Vernier, in 1631. It is a measuring instrument used for solving mathematical problems involving proportion and ratios.
Yes I THINK.But he was only measuring from one mile so he got 0.000005 sec.

Galileo was an unmanned spacecraft designed to study Jupiter and its moons. On 13 July 1995, the Galileo Orbiter and the probe separated for the latter to penetrate Jupiter's atmosphere. Its scientific objectives included measuring Jupiter's temperature, chemical composition and its atmospheric pressure structure. The probe entered Jupiter's atmosphere on 7 December 1995.
The famous scientist whom we usually refer to as Galileo was named, in full, Galileo Galilei. His first name actually was Galileo.
