    The Influence of Atmospheric Drag on Light Velocity Measurements
    Early attempts to determine the speed of light ($c$) demonstrated a notable discrepancy when comparing terrestrial measurements (like those utilizing toothed wheels, as pioneered by Fizeau) against values inferred from celestial mechanics, particularly concerning stellar aberration and the timing of occultations [4].
    The consensus among early 19th-century [phy…
