In ptolemy’s earth-centered model, when would venus appear directly behind the sun as viewed from earth?

3 0

A full Venus always occurs when it is on the opposite side of the Sun as viewed from Earth. (However, we cannot see the full Venus, because it is always very close to the Sun in the sky at that time.) Galileo used this fact as evidence for the Sun-centered view of the solar system: The fact that Venus goes through all the phases must mean it goes all the way around the Sun. In contrast, in the Ptolemaic model, Venus only varies between new and crescent phases.

How did the reality of combat in World War I compare to the beliefs and attitudes many Europeans had about war before fighting b

koban [17]

Answer:

The reality of war was in stark contrast to the previous beliefs and attitudes Europeans had.

Explanation:

Pre-war Europe included many nations that celebrated their military. To fight was to be honorable and glorious. However, in the Great War, warfare was much more gruesome than previously. The introduction of gas attacks, trench warfare, and other technological/military "improvements" caused lives to be needlessly lost for little to nothing in advancements. During and after the war, people began to realize that it wasn't worth it and the youth suffered terribly.
