True, France began work on the canal in 1881, but stopped due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate. The United States took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal on August 15, 1914.
Because there's really just one big ocean. A fish would be able to travel ANYWHERE in it
the major effects of the earth’s revolution is not that there are seasons (contrary to what some reserve teachers think), which are caused by the axis tilt. however given that the axis tilt is responsible for seasons, the orbit around the sun will make them repeat themselves once per amount of time the earth takes to orbit. the earth’s REVOLUTION will also mean that we see different groups of stars at night over the course of a year. the earth’s revolution around the sun also enables us to measure the distances to nearby stars using the mathematical concept of PARALLAX. The earth’s motion needs to be separated out from our observations about motions of other objects, for example, retrograde motion of planets like Mars, Jupiter and further planets are the result of the earth traveling faster than they do as we overtake them.
