Scientific revolution was a period of major changes in how people studied and understood the natural world. Scientists began to use observation, measurement, and experiments to gather knowledge. New ideas challenged earlier beliefs about space, motion, and living things. This period included advances in fields such as astronomy, physics, and biology.

It began in Europe and involved scientists such as Galileo, Isaac Newton, and Nicolaus Copernicus. Their work introduced new ways of studying the world and recording information. Scientific ideas spread to other regions through books and communication.

The Scientific Revolution took place mainly between the 1500s and 1700s. It was part of a time when knowledge and methods were changing. These developments are part of the history of science.
