Geodesy is a branch of science that focuses on the measurement and mapping of the earth.
Geodesi has existed since the 2nd century of ancient Egypt.
In the 2nd century, Eratosthenes used geodesy to calculate the distance between Cairo and Syene.
In the 17th century, Isaac Newton developed a geometric concept to explain the movement of objects in space.
In the 18th century, Pierre-Simon Laplace developed the theory of uniformity to study the shift of the earth.
In the 19th century, Andrae Bessel developed geodesy theory where he concluded that all points on the surface of the earth must have the same distance as the center of the earth.
In the 20th century, more sophisticated navigation and measurement tools began to be introduced to help the geodesy process.
Since the 1970s, satellites have been used to measure and map the earth's surface more accurately.
In the 1980s, Global Positioning System (GPS) technology began to be used to measure and map the earth.
At present, geodesy is used for various purposes, such as tracking tornado winds, measuring the slope of the soil, and sea navigation.
