Answer:

a lunar eclipse

Explanation:

The shadow that Aristotle saw was caused by a lunar eclipse. At that time the sun, earth, and the moon nearly straight alignment caused the Earth's shadow to be reflected on the moon. This shadow is what ultimately led Aristotle to believe that the Earth was a sphere. This should not be confused with a solar eclipse which is similar but instead the sun, moon, and earth align in that order which causes the moon to completely block the sun to anyone on earth.

7. What effect does proximity to the ocean of a biome have on its climate?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Oceans, seas and other types of large rivers and lakes can effect the climate of the near-by proximity areas. The water in the oceans tend to heat and cool more slowly than land masses. As a result, the proximity near the oceans tend to stay cooler  during the summers and the water in the oceans is more heated. These areas will stay warmer during the winters while the water in the oceans will remain cooler.
