Since the Renaissance was largely the European re-discovery of classical works on such things as history, literature, and philosophy, and humanism was largely the study of classical works of history, literature, and philosophy in the ORIGINAL languages in which they were written, you could say that the classics (Greek and Latin texts that were brushed off after the Middle Ages) helped shape the European understanding of its own history, literature, and philosophy, acting as a sort of bridge between the ancient world and the modern.
Classicism dug up dead Greek and Latin texts, and these texts were used as starting points for a lot of European history, lit., and philosophy.
Studying classic literature can strongly influence things such as history and philosophy by showing scholars what ideas didn't work and forcing them to come up with new ideas. It also helps to develop new, more modern ways of thinking.

Role of the age of renaissance to the age of exploration?
When exploration started it kicked off the Renaissance. As people began to explore new worlds they came home with new ideas, food, spices, silks, art, and other things and this added to the society that was all ready just starting to wake up after a 1000 years of "darkness". Men returning from the Crusades also brought home new ideas, science, math, and thinking so again there was pressure put on the society to look at things in a new light. Added to this were new inventions. One of the major inventions was the printing press because it unleashed the stranglehold that the church had over knowledge. Men were able to read what the bible said instead of the church telling them what it said. This meant that man could communicate directly with God as Michelangelo showed in this Sistine painting of Adam reaching for the hand of God. He was expressing the new thought of the time and it was all of these things coming together that created the Renaissance.
