Question: A lunar involves?Answer: The shadow falling on the moon Question: A eclipse involves?Answer: The shadow falls on the earth Question: A cycle is?Answer: The 18 year 11 period of eclipse cycles Question: Planets is?Answer: Diurnal, generally west to east. Sometimes retrograde E to W. are defined by their retrograde motion. Question: Pythagoras' birth date and :Answer: 530-450 BC, believed in Number, Harmony, , and Geometry Question: Philolaus' birth date and :Answer: (5th century BC) All plantets revolve around a "Central fire" including moon. Stars are in locations, and there are 10 circles revolving around sun, including a "Counter earth" that shields us from the sun. Question: ' birth date and theories:Answer: (375-310 BC) Mercury and venus orbit sun, explains retrograde motion and positions of and venus. sun and other other planets orbit earth Question: Aristarchus' date and theories:Answer: (310-230 BC) heliocentric model, explains retrograde motion naturally. all planets revolve around sun, moon revolves around earth. Allows for calculation of size and distance fo the sun and moon. Not accepted because earth doesnt seem to move. Question: Plato' date and theories:Answer: (428-348 BC) Theory has a "real" world of perfection vs our "visible" world of . Hard for his theories to be disproved by evidence bc his theories cannot be proven wrong. Question: Eudoxus' birth date and :Answer: (~370 BC) Made a model of spheres spheres, 3 spheres per planet, plus sun, moon. 27 spheres total. only crudely represented retrograde motion Question: 's birth date and theories:Answer: (384-322) Held Platos ideas as absolute fact. involved 4 elements: earth, water, air, fire. "natural" places: earth lowest, fire highest. motion arises when objects are displaced from natural place. Argued against heliocentric theory. Question: Hipparchus' birth date and :Answer: (160-125 BC)Catalogued 850 star positions and brightness. Invented modern magnitude system. Deferent - circular orbit. Epicycle - Smaller orbit on deferent. Eccentric - Displacement of earth from center of deferent. Question: Eratosthenes' birth date and :Answer: (~200 BC) Made the first very measurement of the earths size. "Father of geography". Calculated circumfrence of earth Question: 's birth date and theories:Answer: (~150 AD) Used Hippachus' general . Introduced the equant, a point opposite of the eccentric, at thesame distance from the center. Planet's epicycle moves on the deferent at a variable speed, the speed appears constant as seen from the equant. Question: The SystemAnswer: Used 40 circles in total, set the size of the universe: 20,000 R = 1 AU. Dominated for 1400 years, the most successful scientific ever. Accurate predictions Question: Hypatia's birth date and :Answer: First known female astronomer, wrote commentary on Ptolemy. Developed astronomical navigation . Murdered during mob riot Question: (1273-1543)Answer: First astronomer of modern times. Model had circular orbits and uniform circular motion, added small to account for variability. Provided natural explanation for retrograde motion. |
