How did Galileo prove the heliocentric theory?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish scientist living about a century before Galileo, had already come up with the unorthodox idea that the Sun was at the center of the solar system. Galileo knew about and had accepted Copernicus's heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory.

Explanation:It was Galileo's observations of Venus that proved the theory. Using his telescope, Galileo found that Venus went through phases, just like our Moon. But, the nature of these phases could only be explained by Venus going around the Sun, not the Earth. Galileo concluded that Venus must travel around the Sun, passing at times behind and beyond it, rather than revolving directly around the Earth.

Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus virtually proved that the Earth was not the center of the universe. It was this assertion which most angered the Church leaders of the time.

Although you did not specify the civilizations you should compare Hammurabi's code with, here I leave relevant points about the code that may help you:

Hammurabi's code is a collection of laws carved in a stone pillar during the Babylonian emperor Hammurabi's realm. After conquering the land within the Mesopotamian valley, he needed to unify the territory of his empire under the same laws. It is the first written code of laws.
As laws were written, judges could not change them at the moment. This was a guarantee of justice for citizens. Other civilizations like the Romans and Hebrews also had written codes of laws.
The code includes mainly a list of crimes and punishments established for them. The punishments defer according to the social rank of the victim and the criminal.
Punishments could be payments in species or metals, but also corporal, following the "eye for an eye" criteria of justice, or Tallion's law. This concept of justice can also be found in old Hebrew tradition, and in the Quran.

Which were causes of the French Revolution? (Select all that apply) A) Crop failures that led to bread shortages and starvation

fgiga [73]

Answer:

A) Crop failures that led to bread shortages and starvation for the poorer classes.

C) Debt accrued by the treasury for its involvement in the American Revolution.

D) France's outdated estates system that gave the upper class too much power.

Explanation:

The French Revolution was the major game-changer of the whole of the French government. The decade-long revolution starting from 1789 to 1799 led to a number of changes in the political, and even social scene of the nation.

The major causes of the French Revolution were the ineffective ruling of the king, Louis XVI. Aside from that, the immense crop failure which led to the increased suffering of the poorer sections of the society led to the uproar. The people demanded changes were required so as to make everyone an equal part of the government. Moreover, their hardships were further led on by the huge debt that France had after its involvement in the American Revolution, which hugely impacted the financial condition. Added to that, the Estates system where the upper class were given more power over the lower class led to a major conflict of interest among the masses. All these factors led to the French revolution.

Thus, the correct answers are options A, C, and D.
