Greek Midevil
Survey the development of astronomy during the scientist revolution compare the theories of Greek astronomers?
Survey the development of astronomy during the scientist revolution compare the theories of Greek astronomers and midevil scholars with those of Copernicus and his followers. How did the revolution in astronomy affect live sof Europeans.
There’s not enough room here to answer this, and I don’t think I want to write your essay for you…:)
Look up Ptolemy, whose “Almagest” (book) was the standard astronomical text from the Greeks to the middle ages. Wrong, but the standard.
Copernicus made the first good argument (since Hipparchus) for a sun-centered solar system, but even he got lots wrong (he stuck with circular orbits of planets moving at constant speeds). It took Kepler’s analysis of Copernicus and Tycho Brahe’s data to find the proper elliptical orbits and make sense of heliocentrism. Look up those guys.
Finally, I don’t think it affected the lives of most europeans, other than to ignite the usual religious controversy (religious people hate when they’re proven wrong, and never want to believe it). Otherwise, knowing we orbited the sun rather than the other way around had no effect at all on most europeans’ lives…
