Explain why your senses would lead you to believe that the Earth is center of the universe

ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

This is due to the apparent movement of the celestial bodies, seen from an observer centered on the Earth. If we did not have knowledge of the advances of science and the latest discoveries, we would think that the Earth is the center of the universe.

For example, for an observer on Earth as a reference system, the Sun moves every day from east to west, as do the planets and all the stars that we observe at night, which leads the observer to believe that those in motion are these bodies outside in the sky while the earth is still and fixed in the universe.

Keep in mind that this theory of geocentrism was widely accepted for a long time in antiquity, until the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a completely different and opposite idea, heliocentrism (universe centered on the Sun).

However, at present it is known and accepted that the universe has no center, that the Earth revolves around the Sun and that in reality all the bodies of the universe are in movement.

castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

  • So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
  • When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.
