Answer:

The astrolabe was an instrument that had great developments in the Islamic world during the year 800 and was introduced in Europe through Islamic Spain in the early 12th century.

It serves to solve problems related to the  position of the Sun and the stars in the sky. In the Muslim world they often used it also to calculate the prayer schedule and locate the direction of Mecca.

With the help of astrolabs, compasses, quadrants and diopters, the so-called "astronomical tables" were built, in which the positions and movement of the celestial bodies were found.

The astrolabe also allowed Muslim astronomers to study the solar spheres and to propose planetary models to explain the phenomenon of trepidation.

Catholic Church Reform

Explanation:

Earlier views: The will of God was found to be in scripture, and the interpreter of that will remained the church. Fighting and identifying heresies. An important question was also about the sacrament that caused disagreements between Catholics and Lutherans, so that part was also successfully resolved.

Reform: Efforts have been made to suppress church abuse. Accumulation of privileges is prohibited, and regular control of ecclesiastical persons is required. A parishioner magazine was also introduced.

Council positions have been maintained to this day, and the Parliament itself has been held on several occasions and in several locations, from 1545 to 1563.

What weapons did the Aztec use? What weapons and other means of defense did the Spanish use?
Llana [10]
The most common weapon of the Aztec was the spears that were known to pierce Spanish armor and were sharp enough that warriors could use them to shave. Another name for their spears was, tepoztopilli. Aztec warriors also used bows & arrows, darts, clubs as well. The Spanish used allies they had made by force or persuasion. The fact that Moctezuma believed Cortés to be a reincarnated god also helped with aiding the Spanish in entering Tenochtitlan. The Spanish uses guns, swords, and cannons as their weapons in the fight against the Aztec but, their greatest weapon proved to be the Small pox virus which they brought to the new world from Europe. Since small pox had been around for a while in Europe, most Europeans had developed and immunity to it but still carried the virus. The Aztecs had never been exposed to the virus so within a number of weeks, a large percent of the Aztec population had been wiped out by the virus.
