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.

In what ways did mesopotamian culture influence the hebrews, israelites, and jews?
WITCHER [35]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The way in that Mesopotamian culture influenced the Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews was the following.

Father Abraham, the patriarch of the ancient Hebrew people, was from the city-state of Ur, an ancient Sumerian city-state, that was one of the most important in the Mesopotamian times, as well as the city-states of Uruk, Lagash, Nippur or Eridu. Abraham's family worshiped the Mesopotamian Gods, but Abraham believed in one God. That is why he decided to leave Ur with his wife Sarah. He believed that this one god he believed in, had promised the Hebrews a special land for them, and that is when they settled in Canaan, modern-day Jewish territory, close to Judah. That is why Hebrews are also known as Jewish.

Explain what made the english settlement of new england distinctive
aleksley [76]
What made them distinctive is the rise of a new social order based around Puritans who were something like extreme Christians. These were the people who burnt people at the stake because of witchcraft and things like that. Many colonies were made to run away from them.
