How did the Renaissance contribute to the Scientific Revolution?

Answer 1

Renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work, and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the Scientific Revolution.

Renaissance thinkers focused little on observation of the natural world, and the Scientific Revolution was an inevitable rebellion against this practice.
