3) Acquired knowledge of navigation when he was sent for Indian Service to check
Muslim power along African and Indian coasts to establish Portuguese power
4) Took part in several battles including Battle of Diu where the Portuguese defeated
Muslim fleet and gained supremacy over most of the Indian Ocean
5) In 1514, he renounced his citizenship and offered his services to the Emperor of
Spain Charles V
6) First European to have reached East Asia by sailing west
7) Masterminded the first expedition to circumnavigate the world
8) Became the first from Europe to cross the Pacific Ocean
9) Known for Pacific Ocean and Strait of Magellan being named after him and
contributions from the Spice Islands
10) Died in a skirmish in the Philippines on April 27, 1521
6. Magellan was the son of Rui de
Magalhães and Alda de Mesquita,
members of the Portuguese
nobility. In early 1505 he enlisted
in the fleet of Francisco de
Almeida, first viceroy of
Portuguese India, whose
expedition King Manuel sent to
check Muslim sea power along the
African and Indian coasts and to
establish a strong Portuguese
presence in the Indian Ocean..
7. In 1513 Magellan asked King
Manuel of Portugal for
permission to sail to the Spice
Islands. His best maps
convinced him that he could
sail to the Spice Islands by
going around the southern tip
of South America. He thought
that this route would be
shorter than eastward to the
southern tip of Africa & across
the Indian Ocean.
8. KING CHARLES I
In 1517, Magellan traveled to
Spain to the palace of king,
Charles the First and
convinced king, that his
country could get richer if it
could find a better trade
route to Asia. And the king
decided to give him
everything he needed to sail
around the world.

12. Mercury is the closestplanet to the
Sun and the smallest one in the entire
SolarSystem.Contraryto popular
belief, this planet’sname has nothing
to do with the liquid metal. Mercury
was, instead,named after the famous
Roman messenger god Mercurius
Mercury takes a little more than 58
days to complete its rotation,so try to
imagine how longdays must be there!
Since the temperatures are so
extreme, albeit not as extreme as on
Venus, Mercuryhas been deemed to
be non-habitablefor humans
