Axial tilt

[edit]

The discovery of axial tilt is attributed to one Ludwig Pilgrim in 1904. There is no record of any astronomer of that name. The "Axial tilt" article in Wikipedia says that it was first noticed in China and India long ago and was reckoned by Ulugh Beg in 1437 and by Tycho Brahe in 1584.

He founded planetary climatology by calculating temperatures of the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere as well as the temperature conditions on planets of the inner Solar System, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Moon, as well as the depth of the atmosphere of the outer planets.

What is the source of this quote?

"most of meteorology is nothing but a collection of innumerable empirical findings, mainly numerical data, with traces of physics used to explain some of them... Mathematics was even less applied, nothing more than elementary calculus... Advanced mathematics had no role in that science..."
