His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations and support for Copernicanism.
Galileo can refer to a measurement unit, a song, a play, a film, a Japanese TV series, or to a NASA space probe that studied Jupiter between 1995 and 2003 . All but the TV show are based on the Italian astronomer and scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642).A unit of gravitational measurement, galileo or gal, is equal to 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s2).Galileo GalileiGalileo, born in Tuscany, was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism (the heliocentric solar system).His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, (named the Galilean moons in his honor), and the observation and analysis of sunspots.(see related question)
Galileo's first astronomical observations revealed several anomalies. He observed that Jupiter had four moons orbiting around it, which challenged the prevailing belief that everything in space revolved around the Earth. He also observed that Venus went through phases similar to the Moon, suggesting that it orbited around the Sun and not the Earth. These observations provided evidence to support the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.
He discovered that they orbit around Jupiter, the first example of anything that did not orbit round the Earth, which lent support to the idea that the Sun might be at the centre of the solar system. After Galileo's lifetime, with further scientific discoveries, this was discovered to be true
One important discovery was the four large moons of Jupiter, which Galileo was the first to observe and describe. He also discovered that they orbit around Jupiter, the first example of anything that did not orbit round the Earth, which lent support to the idea that the Sun might be at the centre of the solar system. After Galileo's lifetime, with further scientific discoveries, this was discovered to be true.
Galileo's observations with his telescope supported the concept of heliocentricism. He noted that the satellites of Jupiter and Venus, based on their range of phases, did not match geocentricism supported by Ptolemy. He noted that based on these findings, that the Heliocentric theory was correct.
His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations and support for Copernicanism.
Galileo Galilei . He only helped support the theory through his observations , he didn't invent the model, Copernicus did.

The discovery did not support Copernicus's theory directly but it raised doubts about the ancient theory of Ptolemy that said that all objects in the sky are in orbit round the Earth. Galileo was an aggressive supporter of Copernicus's theory but eventually it was Kepler's theory that became accepted and is still used today. Both Copernicus and Kepler placed the Sun at the centre but Kepler's elliptical orbits are supported by the later theory of dynamics.

No. There is noting to support combustion on Jupiter.
Her own observations and the observations of othersĀ
The Bible is written from an implicitly geocentric viewpoint, so if we take the Bible as the ultimate authority on everything, then it would be wrong to come to other conclusions such as the heliocentric theory, merely by observing the way the universe actually is. Incidentally, although Galileo did support the heliocentric theory, it was originally proposed by Copernicus. It isn't Galileo's model. Galileo did contribute to this theory with his astronomical observations, however.
