No, Tycho believed the Earth was at the centre, and he produced an alternative geocentric model that fully explained Venus's phases, which the old Ptolemaic system failed to do.
This spoilt Galileo's argument that the Copernican system must be correct and the Sun must be at the centre. However the modern view is that the Sun is at the centre, for reasons that Galileo was not aware of in his lifetime.

What did Tycho Brahe believe about the Solar System?
Brahe believed in the heilocentric model. Which the sun is in the center of the solar system.
What is the copernican model?
The model of the Solar System in which the Sun is in the center and the planets (including Earth) orbit it.
Can Tycho's model explain the phases of venus as observed by Galileo?
no
What were 2 of Galileo's greatest accomplishments and why did the Catholic Church react towards him after his ideas were being spread?
Galileo promoted the Copernican model of the planets, with the Sun at the centre. The church told him not to say it was the absolute truth but just to teach it as a theory for predicting the planets' positions, pending more conclusive proof. He discovered things with his telescope that raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic system with the Earth at the centre. The moons of Jupiter were definitely not orbiting the Earth, and the full range of Venus's phases were a major failure of the Ptolemaic theory. Galileo maintained this must prove that the Copernican theory must be right: but Tycho produced a model with the Earth at the center that correctly predicted the full range of Venus's phases.
How was Copernican model was an immediate improvement from Ptolemaic?
It was not an immediate improvement and actually it used more epicycles than the Ptolemaic mode so was more complicated. But the idea that the Sun is at the centre was taken up by Kepler in his studies of planets' orbits that led to the laws of planetary motion and eventually to the dynamic model of the solar system devised by Newton and others, which is the generally accepted model at the present time.
What Astronomer taught that the earth was the center of the universe?
Nicolaus Copernicus developed and published an astronomical model in 1543 that put the sun at the center of the universe. This model became known as Copernican heliocentrism.
Why do scientists not believe in ptolemaic model?
because the work of Tycho and Kepler showed the heliocentric model was more accurate.
How was tycho brahe's theory of the universe different from those of the earlier astronomers?
Roughly, the Tycho Brahe model of the solar system was something between the ptolemic geocentric model of the solar system and the copernican heliocentric model. The sun still revolved around the earth but all other planets revolved around the sun. Interestingly, it was Tycho's pupil Kepler, that refined the Copernican model to include elliptical orbits (until then, orbits were assumed to be perfect circles).
What did Tycho Brahe believe about the Solar System?
Brahe believed in the heilocentric model. Which the sun is in the center of the solar system.
What were three of Tycho Brahe's reasons for believing his model was right?
Tycho Brahe produced a prodigious volume of measurements and observations, but he didn't fabricate or hypothesize any particular model, and didn't try to convince anybody of anything.
What is the copernican model?
The model of the Solar System in which the Sun is in the center and the planets (including Earth) orbit it.
Can Tycho's model explain the phases of venus as observed by Galileo?
no
Did Tycho Brahe invent anything?
In the late 16th century Tycho Brahe invented the Tychonian or Tychonic system which was a model of the solar system.
What was the Copernican System and who supported this belief and who did not?
The Copernican System is an astronomical model; published in 1543.See more information at the related Wikipedia link listed below.
What was the Copernican system who supported this belief and who did not?
The Copernican System is an astronomical model; published in 1543.See more information at the related Wikipedia link listed below.
Did it take 2 centuries for copernican models replace ptolemaic model?
yes
What was Copernicus' theory that made him unpopular with the church?
People at the dark ages, were taught that the earth was the middle and the sun circled around it. Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. It positioned the Sun near the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets rotating around it in circular paths modified by epicycles and at uniform speeds.
