Eddington number

Have you ever heard of the term Eddington number? It is a number that tells you about how many times someone has ridden their bike in one day. Let me explain it to you using an example.

Imagine you love going on a bike ride every day, and you want to set a goal for yourself to see how many times you can ride your bike in a day. Let's say you ride your bike 20 times in a day. Your Eddington number would be 20.

The Eddington number is named after Arthur Eddington, who was an astronomer. He was interested in the number of stars in the universe. In the same way, some people are interested in how much they can ride their bike in one day. Your Eddington number tells you exactly that!

So, if you want to increase your Eddington number, all you have to do is ride your bike more times in a day. But remember, it's not easy to reach high Eddington numbers. It takes a lot of practice, patience, and determination.

There you have it, a simple explanation of the Eddington number. It's a fun way to track your progress and challenge yourself to ride your bike more every day.
