How is meters a unit of angle?

2019-04-24 01:59:17 UTC  

not distance, angle though they can measure anything in their view

2019-04-24 01:59:24 UTC  

what if i have one that doesn't measure distance at all, just angles

2019-04-24 01:59:26 UTC  

R u dumb?

2019-04-24 01:59:29 UTC  

Must be dumb

2019-04-24 01:59:29 UTC  

then it's distance rating doesn't matter

2019-04-24 01:59:52 UTC  

I don't even

2019-04-24 01:59:53 UTC  

Can i measure teh angluar distance between the sun and moon?

2019-04-24 01:59:58 UTC  

No. There is the apparent horizon. Anything past 600 meters isnt measurable by theodolites

2019-04-24 02:00:20 UTC  

so if something is more than 600 meteres away it's invisible to the theodolite/

2019-04-24 02:00:44 UTC  

You are either lying or mistaken

2019-04-24 02:00:55 UTC  

I think you don't understand what a theodolite is

2019-04-24 02:00:56 UTC  

i think he is mistaken

2019-04-24 02:00:59 UTC  

wait

2019-04-24 02:01:02 UTC  

nevermind

2019-04-24 02:01:07 UTC  

you're looking at a model that has a feature for distance measurement, whcih is an add on

2019-04-24 02:01:11 UTC  

No its not invisible. Its just not an accurate measurement

2019-04-24 02:01:18 UTC  

why wouldn't it be accurate

2019-04-24 02:01:28 UTC  

it's still an object in view, so why can't you measure its angular size

2019-04-24 02:01:40 UTC  

Look at the specs. I didnt invent it

2019-04-24 02:01:46 UTC  

You don't nkow what the specs mean

2019-04-24 02:01:51 UTC  

you're looking at one with an add on

2019-04-24 02:01:59 UTC  

i'm talking about regular theodolites that dont' measure distance, only angles

2019-04-24 02:02:08 UTC  

Because theodolites only measure up to max 600 meters

2019-04-24 02:02:17 UTC  

in disatnce ya, but not in angle

2019-04-24 02:02:21 UTC  

Show me specs that prove otherwise

2019-04-24 02:02:30 UTC  

From the manufacturer

2019-04-24 02:02:32 UTC  

sure i'll show you a regualr theodolite taht measure angle

2019-04-24 02:02:35 UTC  

Angle

2019-04-24 02:02:42 UTC  

Show the specs

2019-04-24 02:02:42 UTC  

one taht doesn't even have a distance measuring add on

2019-04-24 02:02:55 UTC  

Show me the data

2019-04-24 02:03:01 UTC  

From the manufacturer

2019-04-24 02:03:10 UTC  

Enough debate

2019-04-24 02:03:15 UTC  

Prove it.

2019-04-24 02:05:33 UTC  

A theodolite doesn't measure distance anyway

2019-04-24 02:05:47 UTC  

and it doesn't only work for objects within a certain distance

2019-04-24 02:05:57 UTC  

if you can see the object you can measure teh angle between it and somethign else

2019-04-24 02:06:13 UTC  

How did the mayans measure teh angle between teh sun and moon? are those closer than 600m?
