Answer:

According to Ptolemy, all the celestial objects such as the moon, the sun and other planets moves around the earth in a circular path. This means that the earth is located at the center of the solar system.

He made a combination of eccentricity and an epicyclic model in order to explain the motion of planets.

This concept was created because he noticed that some of the planets moves in the western direction, rather than in the eastward direction, with respect to the stars that are present in the sky.

Why was General Lee's elation over his victory not complete?
arsen [322]
I would assume that c would be the answer, because stonewall jackson had very little importance, other than being used for propaganda. You can always replace a general. But D could also be an answer, but it's very unlikely. And also what victory are you referring to?
