He placed the Sun in the middle of the Solar System, instead of the original format where the Sun, Earth, and moon were all in the middle.
Essentially he took the center of the cosmos and changed it from everything circling the Earth, to everything circling the sun. While not the first to propose this, he was the first to have his incantation of this idea spread widely. He did not change from the idea of crystalline spheres or remove epicycles and deferents. He used circular motion, not ellipses (that wouldn't happen until Kepler). It was a radical proposition nonetheless and it was rejected as incorrect or even heresy for quite some time.
The Environment and Climate Change.
The three major organs of the circulatory system are: The Heart, The Brain and The Lungs:
No single change occurs before all earthquakes.
Air movements

It made significantly better predictions of planetary positions in our sky.
It offered more natural explanation for the apparent retrograde motion of planets in our sky.
He placed the sun in the middle with the planets orbiting it.
He placed the Sun at the center of what is now called the Solar System instead of the Earth.
Copernicus' model of the universe that puts the Sun at the center of the solar system was a major and important contribution to astronomy. Whether his laws are important to the study of space today is problematic
Claudius Ptolemy and Nicolaus Copernicus both described the universe. Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, wrote a book that combined all knowledge of astronomy that he could find. He expanded ancient theories with careful mathematical calculations in what was called the Ptolemaic Theory. Ptolemy thought the Earth was the center of the Universe and that the sun and other planets revolved around Earth. Although this theory was incorrect as we now know, it predicted motions of the planets better than any other theory at the time did. Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, published a new theory that would eventually revolutionize astronomy. Copernicus thought the Sun was the center of the universe, and all the planets (including Earth) orbit the sun. Although Copernicus correctly thought that the planets orbit the sun, his theory did not replace Ptolemaic theory immediately. When Copernicus's theory was accepted, major changes in science and society called the Copernican revolution took place.
Copernicus produced his model with the Sun at the centre in 1543, and then in 1609 Kepler produced the model that we use now. Kepler's model also uses the idea of having the Sun at the centre. No-one proved anything but after Newton's discoveries in physics it was realised that Kepler's model fitted exactly with Newton's later theories in gravity and dynamics, so that's why it became accepted, and it still is.
Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 - 24 May 1543) First Astronomer to place the Sun at the center of the Solar System.
It was a major rule in Chinas history.
