Answer:

In the ancient world, astronomy was important for precise timekeeping, religious ceremonies, and agricultural management. The movement of the sun across the sky determined the seasons, while the lunar cycle of 28 days provided convenient divisions of the year—12 months, based on monath, the Old English word for moon. Chinese astrology and constellations were often used for divination. More than 3,000 years ago, Chinese people invented the 10 Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches for chronological purposes. These signs are used to designate the hours, days, months and years. However, since most people at that time were illiterate, the signs were difficult to use. Ancient Chinese Astronomy The first Chinese records of astronomy are from about 3000 BC, and they used the circumpolar stars as their reference point for the heavens, unlike the Indo-Europeans who used observations based upon the rising and setting of celestial bodies on the ecliptic and the horizon.

Discuss how and why Rhode Island New Hampshire Connecticut where established
Murrr4er [49]
The first New England colonies, which included Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, were all founded in the 17th century, beginning with the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620. All but New Hampshire were founded as havens for various religious groups, including Puritans, Separatists, and Quakers.

Rhode Island was founded by people who did not come directly from England. Roger Williams had ideas to turn Rhode Island into a tolerant and multicultural place that quickly became a home to dissenting Puritans, Baptists, Quakers, and Jews.

New Hampshire was authorized by the government to fish off of Portsmouth’s coast. Between 1623 and 1679, Thomas Hilton and David Thompson (and more) cleared the land, built houses, and prepared the colony for defense before the region was officially a colony. Their primary purpose was to export wood and fish for economic gain.

Answer:
