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.

If your body has developed a tolerance to a medication you're taking, it means the medication at your current dose has stopped working as effectively as it once did.

Drug tolerance is indicative of drug use but is not necessarily associated with drug dependence or addiction. The process of tolerance development is reversible and can involve both physiological factors and psychological factors.
