Nicolaus Copernicus found out what happens with the Earth's movements.
The main difference was that Ptolemy's model was geocentric (Earth-centred) and Copernicus's was heliocentric (Sun-centred). Ptolemy's model came from ancient times while Copernicus's was much later (1543). Both models represented the planets' orbits by using combinations of circles and epicycles to explain the way the planets move among the stars. Copernicus found that the orbits of the inner planets could be explained more simply. That is to say that the epicycles used for all the orbits were smaller, and for the inner planets a lot smaller. Both models represented the planets' positions with reasonable accuracy given the crude observational methods used in those days. Until gravity and the laws of dynamics were discovered about 150 years after the publication of Copernicus's system, there was no way of deciding which model was the 'right' one.
It was ptolemy that gave the assumption on the use of devices in the system of the universe
Both Copernicus heliocentric and the Ptolemaic models agreed on the need for epicycles. These were miniature orbits that the celestial bodies travelled on as well as their normal orbits.Copernicus still invigaed the bodies orbiting in perfect circles and had to put these in to explain some of the movements of the planets. This may have contributed to his ideas being largely dismissed as it was just as complicated as the already established model. It was not until Kepler proposed elliptical orbits was this problem resolved.
Aristarchus, an ancient Greek astronomer, thought the sun was at the center. Centuries later Copernicus told his students that orbital trajectories were easier to calculate assuming the sun was the center. In 1610 Galileo observed Jupiter with a home made telescope, and his observations of it and Venus lead him to conclude the sun had to be the center of the solar system. Ten years before Galileo's observations, Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for his heresy of a heliocentric solar system. But of these folks, Galileo's astronomy was the cleanest, best argued, and had the most supporting evidence.

umm well he didn't he only guessed however later on a guy called Galileo Galilei heard about a telescope and actually found out that Copernicus was correct
Copernicus and later Galileo and Kepler. Venus was found to have phases Jupiter was found to have moons Elliptical orbits which Kepler found would later be described by gravity Start there.
Kepler and Copernicus found solar system and said that earth revolves around the sun.
we just wouldn't have figured out that our universe aws heliocentric until a little later Galileo agreed with Copernicus on his theory so we would have found it out still just a little later

Nicolaus Copernicus, after whom the Copernical model is named, advanced the idea of the heliocentrism in the middle 16th century, which is often regarded as the starting point for modern astronomy. There were earlier thinkers whose work did not survive or was not broadly accepted, such as Aristarchus of Samos who may have been first to seriously propose the Sun was at the solar system's center around the third century BC.
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
