Did The Chinese developed a way to move the sails of ships that allowed ships to sail into the wind for the first time?
There is definitely two ways of doing things in this world; the Eastern (Oriental) way and the Western (Occidental) way. Eastern ships used square rigged sails whilst Western ships did not. It's now being discovered that the "ancient" Chinese may have sailed into North America (stone anchors have been found up some of the rivers in North America).It appears that both Oriental & Occidental mariners were capable of sailing into the wind. Who was first? Might have to experiment with some model ships: if the Chinese square rigged vessels can sail into the wind...then there's your answerANSWER: YesGot it right out of my social studies book.
A spaceman who sails amongst the stars?
A spaceman who sails amongst the stars explores distant galaxies, planets, and celestial phenomena in his spacecraft. He navigates the vastness of outer space, conducting research, making discoveries, and experiencing awe-inspiring adventures in the cosmos.
What were the improvements in technology that aided exploration?
Improvements in technology that aided exploration included advances in shipbuilding techniques, such as the development of stronger hulls and more efficient sails, which allowed for longer and safer sea voyages. Additionally, the invention of the compass and improved navigational tools helped sailors better determine their position at sea. Lastly, the development of better maps and cartography techniques provided explorers with more accurate and detailed information about the lands they were venturing into.
Who invented the solar sail?
The concept of a solar sail was proposed by physicist Johannes Kepler in 1610. However, the first successful demonstration of a solar sail in space was the IKAROS project by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in 2010.
What is the history of the constellation vela?
The constellation Vela represents the sails of the ship Argo Navis in ancient Greek mythology. It was later divided into separate constellations including Vela by French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century. Vela is now recognized as one of the 88 modern constellations by the International Astronomical Union.
What were the accomplishment of Zhang he?
He was the greatest Chinese explorer. He helped develop central rudders, watertight compartments and advanced sails.
True or false the Chinese developed a way to move the sails of ships that allowed ships to sail into the wind for the first time?
It is not possible to sail directly INTO the wind. Forty-five degrees is about as close as can be gained. Actually they did get the ships to sail into the wind. The above answer is wrong.
When were the sails created?
Over 8,000 years ago. The Ancient Chinese had ships with sails, the Vikings had sails, the Ancient Egyptians had sails, Ancient Romans used sails. They even had a type of canvas sail to provide shade to colosseum fans in the afternoon heat.

What does caravel mean in a simple definition?
a ship with triangular sails that allowed it to sail into the wind and with square sails that carried it forward when the wind was at it's back.
What were caravels and how were they better than what they replaced?
Caravels are ships! They used triangular sails that, unlike traditional square sails, allowed ships to sail against the wind. By replacing oars on the ship's side with rudders at the back of the ship, the Portuguese also greatly improved steering.
What was the difference between caravels and earlier ships?
the caravel has triangular sails as well as square sails. Square sails carried the ship forward when the wind was at its back. Triangular sails allowed the caravel to sail into the wind. the caravel was better than other euoopean ships of the time at this type of sailing
