How did galileo and newtons insights into physics help to make Copernicus' model more plausible?

In the end it was Kepler's model that was accepted as true. Copernicus's model with its circles and epicycles was replaced by Kepler's model with elliptical orbits that were eventually explained by the theory of gravity.
The only part of Copernicus's model that has lasted is the idea that the Earth is in orbit round the Sun, which is accepted because Newton's discoveries showed that the Sun is far more massive than all the planets combined.

What historic events happened during isaac newtons life?
The answer can be simply answered through his name. During Newtons life, the world experienced a Scientific Revolution, mainly based around his findings. Other scientists such as Galileo, Copernicus as well as philosophers started to think differently from life, moving away from religion and into scientific theory.This started the Enlightenment Era.
What did Galileo's of inertia sate?
A body moving on a level surface will continue in the same direction at constant speed unless disturbed. it is just like newtons first law
Why do you use newtons physics today instead of Galileo's?
Newton had the advantage of being born later in the same year that Galileo died. He therefore had more opportunities to make scientific discoveries based on what earlier scientists had found. Newtons discoveries allowed him to explain, among other things, that the planets follow Kepler's laws through the law of gravity and the laws of motion. Other than tiny adjustments from the General Theory of Relativity, Kepler's model is the one still in use today.
How did newtons work support the early workers of Copernicus Kepler and gailileo?
Newton's work on planetary orbits was based on Copernicus's theory and used the details given by Kepler in the three laws of planetary motion. Newton also developed laws of motion of objects when acted on by forces, the science of dynamics. Galileo founded this science with his ideas of inertia and forces based on experiments he conducted. Galileo also had ideas about orbits but these did not contribute directly to the development of orbital theory.

Is Galileo law of inertia and newtons first law of motion are same or different?
yes they r same
How did Eratosthenes estimate the size of Earth in 240 BC?
He or She estimated it by building off of Henry Cavendish,Galileo,& Sir Isaac Newtons Ideas.

What were newtons experiments on Pisa?
Galileo and not newton conducted the experiment at the leaning tower of pisa. He took a large weight and a small weight and dropped them at the same they fell at the same speed and landed together.
What was newtons experiment on Pisa?
Galileo and not Newton conducted the experiment at the leaning tower of Pisa. He took a large weight and a small weight and dropped them at the same time. They fell at the same speed and landed together.
Who was the astronomer that realized the earth orbits the sun?
Aristarchus was the first person to think so, some time around 400 BCE. Copernicus came up with the idea next, and his writings convinced Bruno and Galileo. Galileo wrote a book about the sun centered "solar" system. Bruno was burned to death for his heresy.
