Which option describes a scientific innovation during the Renaissance?
the Julian calendar, consisting of 12 months and 365 days, was invented
a complex legal system with terms such as habeas corpus, pro bono, and affidavit was created
the heliocentric theory was proposed a sun-centered universe was established
concrete was invented and used to build monuments such as th pantheon and the Colosseum
is it c
thank you.
Yep, the heliocentric theory.
The correct option that describes a scientific innovation during the Renaissance is:
The heliocentric theory was proposed, and a sun-centered universe was established.
The correct option that describes a scientific innovation during the Renaissance is:
The heliocentric theory was proposed, and a sun-centered universe was established.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options by analyzing their historical contexts.
Firstly, the Julian calendar was not a scientific innovation of the Renaissance. It was actually introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, long before the Renaissance even began. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
Secondly, the creation of a complex legal system with terms like habeas corpus, pro bono, and affidavit has more to do with legal and judicial advancements rather than scientific innovation. While important for the development of law, this option does not pertain to scientific advancements during the Renaissance.
Lastly, the invention of concrete and its use in building monuments such as the Pantheon and the Colosseum predates the Renaissance. This architectural innovation can be traced back to the ancient Roman civilization. Therefore, we can eliminate this option as well.
By process of elimination, we can conclude that the correct option is the proposal of the heliocentric theory and the establishment of a sun-centered universe. This refers to the scientific breakthrough made by Nicolaus Copernicus during the Renaissance, challenging the geocentric (Earth-centered) view of the universe.
