Which accurately describes Galileo's impact on science during the Scientific Revolution?
galileo used a telescope to discover moons revolving around Jupiter and craters on earth moon
galileo invented the compound microscope which improves magnification compared to older microscopes
galileo was the first man to apply for a patent for the barometer, even though he didn't invent it
galileo proposed the three laws of motion which also supported Kepler's three laws of planetary motion
A?
Yes, A.
If Malia had picked D I would have started screaming. I am also touchy about van Leeuwenhoek and his invention of the microscope because I lived on a street and canal named after him in Delft, Netherlands.
thank you
The correct answer is "Galileo used a telescope to discover moons revolving around Jupiter and craters on Earth's moon."
To get to this answer, we can eliminate options B, C, and D as they are inaccurate statements about Galileo's contributions during the Scientific Revolution.
To confirm the answer, we need some understanding of Galileo's work. During the Scientific Revolution, Galileo made significant contributions to astronomy and physics. He built his telescope and observed the night sky, discovering that moons revolve around Jupiter, which challenged the geocentric model of the universe prevailing at the time. Additionally, he observed craters on Earth's moon, providing evidence for a celestial body with an imperfect surface.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
