What was ptolemy's theory of the solar system -?
Great question: Ptolemy believed that Earth was the center of the universe and that everything revolved around it. He believed that the stars were lights attached to a crystal sphere that spun around the Earth. He thought that the planets traveled on spheres of their own. To account for the more subtle motions, Ptolemy believed that each planet also moved on a smaller sphere - an epicycle. Ptolemy's view of the universe was thought to be valid and current for 1,500 years, until in 1547 Nicolaus Copernicus created the first theory for a heliocentric universe. THAT changed EVERYTHING!!
