Explanation:
The Space Race was considered important because it showed the world which country had the best science, technology, and economic system. After World War II both the United States and the Soviet Union realized how important rocket research would be to the military.
In the
1600s, for Britain to restrict colonial trade, the Navigation Acts were
made. The Parliament made the Acts to protect
the British shipping against the Dutch and other foreign powers. The competition
in trading was very evident during that time thus this was one of their
purposes. Another is for Britain to have monopoly on colonial commodities like
tobacco and sugar. During that time, the principle of mercantilism dominated when
it comes to the economic system. The context stated that the nation’s wealth
depends on accumulated supply of gold. As per conventional wisdom, wealth is
limited because there is also a limited supply of gold. And imperialism states
that primarily colonies, preferably through the discovery of gold but also
through the production of natural resources, expanded its wealth. Mercantilist
model states that open trade could only result to loss of wealth and this was
what the Navigation Acts wanted to lessen if not abolish. The Acts were made
for the purpose of retaining the imperial realm’s wealth where trading power
had to utilize the colonies’ resources within a closed- trade system.
Answer:
The Civil War and Reconstruction period
Explanation:
Sunlight interacting with the Earth's atmosphere makes the sky blue. In outer space the astronauts see blackness because outer space has no atmosphere.
<span>Sunlight consists of light waves of varying wavelengths, each of which is seen as a different color. The minute particles of matter and molecules of air in the atmosphere intercept and scatter the white light of the sun. A larger portion of the blue color in white light is scattered, more so than any other color because the blue wavelengths are the shortest. </span><span>When the size of atmospheric particles are smaller than the wavelengths of the colors, selective scattering occurs-the particles only scatter one color and the atmosphere will appear to be that color. Blue wavelengths especially are affected, bouncing off the air particles to become visible.</span><span>This is why the sun looks yellow from Earth (yellow equals white minus blue). In space, the sun appears white because there is nothing in between to scatter its white light. </span><span>At sunset, the sky changes color because as the sun drops to the horizon, sunlight has more atmosphere to pass through and loses more of its blue wavelengths. The orange and red, having the longer wavelengths and making up more of sunlight at this distance, are most likely to be scattered by the air particles. </span><span>The scattering of visible light by atmospheric gases is most correctly called the </span>Tyndall effect<span>, but it is more commonly known to physicists as </span>Rayleigh scattering<span> after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. Rayleigh Scattering is where red, orange, yellow, and green are passed through and blue, indigo, and violet are "scattered" out creating the color.</span><span>Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. </span>
