Galileo was the first scientist to use the telescope to study the nighttime sky. Among his discoveries were the phases of Venus
Bumek [7]

Answer and Explanation:

At the time when Galileo lived, people believed in the geocentric model of the solar system, which claimed that earth was the center of the universe, where all the celestial bodies revolved around it. By using the microscope and discovering Jupiter's natural satellites, Galileo put geocentric systems to the test. This is because he showed that the earth was not the only planet that had celestial bodies rotating around it, other planets had this capacity, like Jupiter. Today we know that Galileo is correct, but his ideas were not well received at the time.

In relation to astronomy, the science of Galileo's time was based on the Aristotelian model, which stated that the celestial bodies were smooth and had a perfect, polished surface with no irregularities. Galileo also put this concept to the test, when he was able to visualize the surface of the moon with his telescope. He saw that the moon did not have a smooth surface, but a rough one, full of irregularities, mountains and caves just like the earth. Today we know that this is true, but one more this idea was not well received by the fellow citizens of Galileo, which caused his life imprisonment for heresy.

We can see that Galileo did not receive a correct judgment from the society in which he lived and suffered for it, even though he was not doing any harm to anyone.

What is the difference between arid conditions and a drought? ​
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

When discussing drought, one must have an understanding of aridity and the difference between the two. Aridity is defined, in meteorology and climatology, as "the degree to which a climate lacks effective, life-promoting moisture" (Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society). Drought is "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently long enough to cause a serious hydrological imbalance". Aridity is measured by comparing long-term average water supply (precipitation) to long-term average water demand (evapotranspiration). If demand is greater than supply, on average, then the climate is arid. Drought refers to the moisture balance that happens on a month-to-month (or more frequent) basis. If the water supply is less than water demand for a given month, then that month is abnormally dry; if there is a serious hydrological impact, then a drought is occurring that month. Aridity is permanent, while drought is temporary.
