Scientific advancements that led to the era of European exploration include:
- Discoveries in astronomy helped sailors steer their ships.
- The creation of bigger ships allowed explorers to sail farther.
- The advancements in printing led to the creation of better maps.
In the 15th century, the Europeans began to explore the world to find out new lands that they could benefit from. They went to the Americas, Africa and Asia and this was possible because:
- They were able to better chart the stars (astronomy) to use it to know their relative location when they sailed.
- They build larger ships that were capable of sailing for much longer distances than before.
- Advancements in printing allowed better and more accurate maps to be printed to avoid getting lost.
In conclusion we can say that astronomy, ship architecture and cartographic technology allowed for European exploration.
