Ibn al-Haytham was the first to explain that vision occurs when light reflects from an object and then passes to one's eyes. He was also the first to demonstrate that vision occurs in the brain, rather than in the eyes. Building upon a naturalistic, empirical method pioneered by Aristotle in ancient Greece, Ibn al-Haytham was an early proponent of the concept that a hypothesis must be supported by experiments based on confirmable procedures or mathematical evidence—an early pioneer in the scientific method five centuries before Renaissance scientists.

Born in Basra, he spent most of his productive period in the Fatimid capital of Cairo and earned his living authoring various treatises and tutoring members of the nobilities. Ibn al-Haytham is sometimes given the byname al-Baṣrī after his birthplace, or al-Miṣrī ("of Egypt"). Al-Haytham was dubbed the "Second Ptolemy" by Abu'l-Hasan Bayhaqi and "The Physicist" by John Peckham.Ibn al-Haytham paved the way for the modern science of physical optics.

Lunar phases are basically the different positions of the moon that we see throughout its whole cycle, from new moon to full moon, back to new moon. Eclipses, though are more rare phenomena. These occur when the sun, moon, and earth line up at a specific position.

Asteroids are usually dense bodies, with many different formations on their surface. They are also believed to be the largest source of precious metals on our planet.

Comets are bright clouds of gas surrounding a center nucleus that speed toward the sun and heat up at the same time. They contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, and other gases. As the comet soars toward the sun, the radiation pushes dust particles back, forming the tail they are known for.

What factor defines all groups in the Köppen system, with the exception of dry climates? evaporation precipitation air pressure

Liula [17]

Answer:

temperature

Explanation:

I choose temperature because it tells how hot,cold,dry and warm somethings are meanwhile evaporation is when water changes from liquid to gas,so that means water gets hot.

Precipitation is when water released from the cloud to form rain,freezing rain,sleet,snow,or hail.Which means thing get cold.

Air pressure also affect evaporation, which means that water will not be able to come up of the surface of a body of water.So that means the the pressure will be pushing down on the surface of the water.
