In addition, he observed that sunlight is reflected by the moon and planets. He made precise calculations on the solar year, as well as the form and motion of astral bodies. Through trade, these scientific concepts expanded around the globe.

In terms of medical, Gupta doctors created herbal treatments for a variety of diseases and administered smallpox vaccinations. Scientific dissection and anatomy could not be practised because of religious edicts that forbade contact with dead bodies.
