The term renaissance comes from the french word meaning "rebirth." It is the rebirth of art and other things such as literature and a new era for science. During this time the telescope was invented, proving that the sun is the center of the universe. Also, it is the rebirth of medicine. The renaissance came right after the time of the black death (the Bubonic Plague.) So, the term renaissance comes from the latin word, "rebirth."

How did the Renaissance period lead to the Age of Exploration?

The Renaissance was embodied with ideas of greatness, individual achievement, and the desire to seek understanding and knowledge for the sake of knowledge. The Renaissance was also possible by well funded patrons that could afford to make their artistic and intellectual "renaissance" ideas come to fruition. The Age of Exploration was a desire for several things: 1. A desire for wealth. This is a continuation of a concept that was flourishing during the renaissance. 2. A desire for understanding. People sought out exploration for glory, the simple joy of being able to say I was the first one to discover something! This strive for knowledge and understanding is directly aligned to what was considered important during the Renaissance. 3. Spreading Religion. Although not directly related to the ideologies surrounding the Renaissance, it would have been made possible through Renaissance technology, the Printing Press. And finally, technology that aspired creation during the Renaissance is what made these trans-atlantic journeys possible.
