This is the effect in which an object's position appears different because of the position from which it is viewed
What is parallax?
300
This is the smooth, soft tissue in the joints.

400
This white tissue attaches the muscles to the bone.

This change of position makes parallax harder to detect.
What is "moving farther away"?
500
Natural philosophers of Copernicus's day used this as an objection to the heliocentric system.
What is lack of parallax OR the inability of the heliocentric system to predict the future position of the planets better than the geocentric system.
500
This is the process by which cartilage turns into bone.
What is ossification?
