Who said the driving force of history was race?
Historian and philosopher Oswald Spengler believed that the driving force of history was race, emphasizing the importance of biological and cultural differences among civilizations.
Who was the 1st person on earth?
In terms of scientific understanding, it is not possible to identify a single "first person" on Earth, as human evolution is a gradual process spanning millions of years. The first human-like ancestors of modern humans emerged in Africa around 2-3 million years ago.
What is the circumference of Venus?
The equatorial circumference of Venus is about 38,025 km or 23,627 miles.
This is only slightly smaller than Earth (40,075 km).
Often a planet's circumference around the equator is different from the pole-to-pole circumference, since the spinning of the planet on its axis flattens the planet out somewhat with a bulge at the equator. Venus rotates very slowly though, so its polar circumference is pretty much the same as the equatorial circumference.
Why do creationists think the earth is 10000 years old?
I believe it is 6000, not 10000, and because they dont bother to think for themselves and never question their beliefs. Regarding: "..because they dont bother to think for themselves and never question their beliefs."
Since many creationists have PhD's awarded in secular institutions, it would be difficult to find a way of supporting the above assertion. Creationists also have a number of peer-reviewed journals, as well as having published scientific papers in non-creationist secular scientific journals. Some of them are world leaders in their field. On a number of occasions creationists have modified their approach or withdrawn arguments found to be unsupported by rigorous science.
It is possible that, since many people are not familiar with the work of creation scientists, they are ready to believe whatever anti-creationists say. However, to say people don't think for themselves and never question their beliefs, is another thing from it actually being so. The actual facts are otherwise, even if one disagrees with creation science and its conclusions. Creationists take the Bible as their starting point in terms of presuppositions. The historical record of the Bible makes the earth from 6-10000 years old (as a maximum). They have found much scientific evidence to support the Biblical date.
It may be necessary to point out that all scientists have presuppositions which guide them. No science is done in a vacuum. Evolutionists presume long ages and fit everything into this paradigm, and reject all the evidence against it.
Creationists are simply beginning their work from a different basis. Under the creationist paradigm there is much supportive scientific evidence which evolutionists ignore. Much of this evidence comes from research conducted by evolutionists themselves and so no accusation of bias can apply to these (although of course there is the evolutionary bias).
There are 27 in total and mostly named after Shakespearian characters. They are in 3 concentric orbits of 13 inner moons, 5 Major moons and 9 irregular moons. The inner moons are Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind and Cupid. The five major moons are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. The irregular moons are Francisco, Caliban, Ferdinand, Setebos, Prospero, Margaret, Sycorax, Stephano and Trinculo.
What is meant by second party In terms of accidents?
In terms of accidents, the second party refers to the person or entity who is involved in the accident alongside the first party (the person who caused the accident). The second party could be a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or any other individual affected by the accident.
Why is earth not a perfect sphere?
because it two poles on the Earth causes it to bugle out in the middle.
It spins on its axis and the centrifugal force makes the part at the equator bulge out slightly.
symtrifical force my friend. as the earth spins, rock, water, everything on the side is pushed outwords as if you spun a rock on a rope around, it would push outwords.
Earth is not a perfect sphere because the rotation of the planet has slightly distorted the shape.
How have scientist determined that the outer core of earth is liquid?
Scientists have determined that the outer core of Earth is liquid through seismic wave analysis. By studying the behavior of seismic waves as they pass through the Earth, scientists have found that S-waves are unable to travel through the outer core, indicating that it is liquid. This information has been crucial in our understanding of Earth's structure and dynamics.
Which two planets have only ONE moon?
The only planet in our solar system with exactly one moon is Earth. For a long time Pluto had only one known moon, but is now known to have five moons. As of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
What allowed Galileo to realize planets move around the sun?
Satellites of Jupiter
Jupiter has a large number of satellites. Of these, four are comparable to the Earth's Moon in size; the rest are orders of magnitude smaller. When Jupiter is at opposition and closest to the Earth, the stellar magnitude of its four large moons is between 5 and 6. [1] This means that, were it not for the shielding brightness of Jupiter, these bodies would be visible with the naked eye. The aperture of the telescope used by Galileo in 1610 and its magnification thus brought these four "Galilean" satellites within his grasp.
But first Galileo had to make adjustments to the instruments. When viewing bodies that are very bright and very small, the optical defects of the telescope can be crippling. By trial and error Galileo learned to stop down the aperture of his instrument until he could begin to make useful observations. At the end of 1609, as he was finishing his series of observations of the Moon, Jupiter was at opposition and the brightest object in the evening sky (not counting the Moon). When he had made the new adjustment to his instrument, he turned his attention to Jupiter. On 7 January 1610 he observed the planet and saw what he thought were three fixed stars near it, strung out on a line through the planet. This formation caught his attention, and he returned to it the following evening.
Galileo's expectation was that Jupiter, which was then in its retrograde loop, [2] would have moved from east to west and had left the three little stars behind. Instead, he saw all three stars to the west of Jupiter. It appeared as though Jupiter had not moved to the west but rather to the east. This was an anomaly, and Galileo returned to this formation again and again. Over the next week he found out several things. First, the little stars never left Jupiter; they appeared to be carried along with the planet. Second, as they were carried along, they changed their position with respect to each other and Jupiter. Third, there were not three but four of these little stars. By the 15th of January he had figured it out: these were not fixed stars but rather planetary bodies that revolved around Jupiter. Jupiter had four moons. His book, Sidereus Nuncius, in which his discovery was described, came off the press in Venice in the middle of March 1610 and made Galileo famous.
Galileo's observations of Jupiter's moons (from manuscripts) [click for larger image]The moons of Jupiter had a major impact on cosmology. In 1610 the traditional Aristotelian cosmology had come under attacks from Copernican astronomers. Aristotelians had a number of arguments against the Copernican System, one of which was now made obsolete. In traditional cosmology, there was only one center of motion, the center of the universe which was the place of the Earth. The motions of all heavenly bodies centered on the Earth. But according to the Copernican theory, the Earth went around the Sun while the Moon went around the Earth. There were thus two centers of motion, which seemed an absurdity. Moreover, if the Earth was a planet, like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, why was it the only planet to have a Moon? Galileo's discovery answered this question. The Earth was, in fact, not the only planet to have a moon, Jupiter had four. And no matter what cosmological system one believed in, there were now at least two centers of motion in the universe, the Earth or Sun and Jupiter. Thus, although the satellites (the term was first used by Johannes Kepler) of Jupiter were by no means proof of the truth of the Copernican system, they certainly added ammunition on that side of the argument.

How many miles is Venus in circumference?
Assuming you mean an Earth day and not a Venus day.
Venus has an orbital speed of 35.02 km/s or 21.76 miles/s
So there are 86,400 seconds in an Earth day.
21.76 x 86,400 gives the answer.
----------------------------------------------
For a Venus day.
There are 20,996,928 seconds in a Venus day
21.76 x 20,996,928 gives the answer.
What are the problems facing our earth?
World Hunger -- agricultural advances that will increase efficiency in farming and can increase water resources, development of crops that can grow in drier climates
Global Warming -- the problem goes hand-in-hand with pollution, but can also be held separate because it involves one area of pollution, green-house gases -- solutions might include
Pollution -- the discovery or invention of cleaner energy sources -- increased recycling programs and better recycling methods
Education -- the information age is driving society to learn -- online courses such as this one are available to people across the country, even while they are currently employed -- computers and the Internet are being utilized through programs such as the 1 laptop per child program that was developed to help children in third world countries have the opportunity for an education
Poverty -- information technology seems to be driving economies in third world countries -- development of computers and the Internet have provided a low-cost platform for these countries to enter into the information age where they are able to earn an income performing labor for companies across the world without leaving their homes
Energy Waste and Efficiency -- production of energy-efficient appliances, vehicles, electronic devices, and so on can help us reduce the amount of energy we waste every day -- I bet we produce enough heat through the storage and processing of information each day across the world that we could heat every home in Canada during an entire winter, yet all we can think about is using more energy to find ways to keep our servers cold enough that they do not receive any significant heat damage...
Alternative Energy Sources -- oil seems to be on topic all of the time lately, but there are alternative energy resources -- wind, solar, water, nuclear -- that can be further researched
Space Exploration -- this is an opportunity for us to learn more about the world that we live in, and by world I am not just talking about the Earth -- there are so many galaxies to explore, so many elements to discover... who knows what is out there for us to discover? I think we are starting to move in the right direction, but that we are still decades behind in this research
Health Care -- technology should be embraced and driven as a method for reducing health costs for everyone across the world -- is there really a reason that health care needs to cost as much as it does? or do we need to find more efficient and better ways for providing health care? also nano-technology is giving us a method by which we can deliver medicines and perform surgeries never before possible
Disease -- genetics -- learning more about ourselves and our bodies will open doors to solutions for diseases and viruses that we have never before considered -- doctors are able to diagnose diseases and ailments months and years ahead of what was previously possible
Are there tunnels from pyramids to center of earth?
No, there are no tunnels from pyramids to the center of the Earth. Such claims are purely speculative and not supported by any scientific evidence. Pyramids were built for various purposes such as tombs or religious monuments, not for connecting to the Earth's core.
Which planets do not have an atmosphere?
Mercury and the Moon do not have a significant atmosphere. Both have very thin atmospheres, with Mercury's being composed mostly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium. The Moon's atmosphere is extremely thin, consisting mainly of trace amounts of neon, hydrogen, and helium.
How far down in the earth can be dug?
The deepest hole dug into the Earth is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, which reaches a depth of about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers). However, digging deeper becomes increasingly difficult due to extreme heat and pressure in the Earth's mantle. Currently, technology limits us to only scratching the surface of the Earth's crust.
What are the spirit guardian questions in Baten Kaitos?
Supposedly, if you answer the questions in a way that would help Kalas (or Sagi if your playing Origins) to trust you more, or answer them in a way that would agree with him, then it will bring about better results in battle. What exactly this means im not sure, probably just better luck with cards coming up or perhaps attack powers.
How does the Earth's rotation cause a day?
The earth orbits around the sun and if it didn't rotate as it does so we would have one day and one night per year, each lasting 6 months. The fact that the earth rotates once every 24 hours constantly presents a changing face to the sun, which is our source of light.
How many money are on the Earth?
It is difficult to determine the exact amount of money on Earth as it exists in various forms such as physical cash, digital currency, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. However, estimates suggest that the total global money supply is in the trillions of dollars.
How have advancements in agriculture and medicine affected the diversity of life on earth?
There has been many advancements in agriculture that has helped the world these advancements have helped increase the food supply. Three great examples of this is: Artificial Insemination, Computers in agriculture,and Genetic enginering. If you are looking for more on this topic check out those three things.
How many times does the earth rotate in a year?
The Earth rotates about its axis approximately 365.25 times in a year, which is the length of time it takes to complete one orbit around the sun. This extra quarter rotation each year is why we have a leap year every four years.
How long does it take to get through the earth's mantle?
Impossible to say since it has never been achieved. The Earth's mantle is 1,800 miles thick and lies below the Earth's crust which averages around 20 to 30 miles thick. However, the deepest hole thus far drilled into the Earth, the Sakhalin-I Odoptu OP-11 Well, is only 52,575 feet deep, which is slightly less than 10 miles. So there's still some way to go to reach the mantle, never mind dig past it.
Is the aircraft's flight affected by the earth rotation?
The Earth's rotation does not significantly affect an aircraft’s flight since the atmosphere rotates along with the Earth. However, the Coriolis effect, which is caused by Earth’s rotation, can impact wind patterns and ocean currents, indirectly affecting flight paths. Pilots take these factors into account for navigation and fuel efficiency.
What layer of Earth makes up the plates and what layer causes them to move?
The plates are made up of the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The movement of these plates is caused by the flow of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath the lithosphere.
