Ruins of ancient civilizations show that the people could predict the equinoxes and solstice with great precision. How do you think they were able to do so?
Answers
Answer:
The people could predict equinox and solstice with great precision because they were great observers and they could calculate with precision. They had rock structured with different marks that showed different positions of the sun when it passed celestial equator. From the ruins, scientists have found various stones with some information and marked carved on them that are associated with the counting of the solstice.
Answer:
The people in 'ancient civilizations' could predict 'equinoxes and solstice' with 'great precision'. They were able to do so through the skills of calculation and observation.
Explanation:
One of the two times in a year when the mid-day 'sun is directly overhead' at the equator, this phenomenon is called Equinoxes.
The time during summer or winter when the overhead midday sun is at its maximum or minimum angular distance from the equator, this phenomenon is called Solstices.
