Answer:
The Renaissance is a period in European civilization immediately after the Middle Ages (dark ages) characterized by a rise in interest in classical scholarship and values.
The Renaissance period also discovered the discovery and exploration of new continents, the replacement of the Copernican system of astronomy with the Ptolemaic system, a decline of feudal systems of government, and the rise of commerce, invention, and the use of powerful innovations such as printing, paper, the marine compass, and gunpowder.
To scholars and thinkers, it was time for the revival of classical learning after the stagnation of culture in social, political, and intellectual transformation.
