Answer:

North America is in the northern hemisphere

longitude - gives the East and West position of a point.

Latitude - give the north to south position of a point

Equator - it's a invisible line that goes around the earth, that has equal distance from the poles. It also divides the north and south hemispheres.

Hemisphere - the half of earths sphere, it's divided into four areas, north, south, east, and west. the invisible line crosses over all of them stretching to both poles.

Tropic of cancer - is the most northern latitude on earth, the sun can be seen overhead. it's 23.4 degrees north of the equator.

Tropic of Capricorn - is the most souther latitude on earth, you'll be able to see the sun directly over head. 23.4 degrees south of the equator.

Prime meridian - the invisible line that goes north to south at 0 degrees longitude. the prime meridian also separates the west and east hemisphere.

Greenwich - an area in London, England, that references the prime meridian line that passes through the town, the marked the area with a laser to imitate the line.

England international date line - an invisible line that goes from the north to south pole, i demonstrates the change of the calender day.

Arctic circle - the most southern latitude in the north hemisphere, the sun could be seen 24 hours a day.

Anarctic circle - is the most southern point of earth, parallel latitude and 66.5 degrees south of the equator

don't mind the spelling errors, I was typing fast.

Olin [163]

Answer: c. Later Copernican Revolution (about 1609-1630)

Explanation:

During the Middle Ages, it was believed that the Earth remained motionless, occupying the center of a universe subject to uniform circular motion where Earth was the only world. All this because the only accepted idea was that of Ptolemy.

Until the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Earth annually orbits the Sun and rotates once a day on its own axis.  He also dared to affirm that the other planets also orbited the Sun as a fixed point. This meant the Earth was no longer unique, nor did it occupy the center of the known universe.

It was on this main idea that the Copernican revolution was based, by changing the Earth for the Sun as the center of the Universe, bringing with it a paradigm shift from the ptolemaic model of the heavens (the stationary Earth in the center of the universe) to the heliocentric model with the Sun in the center of the solar system.

These ideas were published by Copernicus in <em>De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.</em>
