Johannes Kepler was the first to recognize that configuration,
based on his analysis of Tycho Brahe's observational data.

How did Eudoxus think the planets moved?
Eudoxus thought that the planets revolved around the Earth not the Sun.
Who thought that the earth was the centre of the universe and that the planets had circular orbits?
Ptolemy, but he was wrong the sun is in the center and planets have elliptical orbits.
What is the difference between a geocentric and heliocentric model of the solar system?
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.

Why did Galileo think plants revolve around the sun?
Galileo thought planets revolved around the sun because when he observed Jupiter, he noticed that its moons revolved around Jupiter and not earth. So everything else led up to that the Earth revolved around the sun.
How was Copernicus model of the universe different from ptolemy's?
Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the moon.No. The above answer is incorrect.Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the EARTH in epicycles. Not the moon. (The model that modeled the planets orbiting earth was the Geocentric model. Aristotle theorized this.)Copernicus's model is known as the Heliocentric model. Ptolemy's theory of epicycles is when the planets revolved in large circles around Earth.
How was Copernicus' model of the universe different from ptomely's model?
Ptomely thought that the earth was at the centre of the universe and everything revolved around it. His model had everything moving in perfect circles or circles within circles. Copernicus suggested that the Earth in fact revolved around the sun. It wasn't until Galileo and the invention of the telescope that Copernicus was proved right Later Kepler went on to prove that the planets orbit in elliptical and not circular orbits.

Which assuptions do ptolemy and Copernicus disagree upon?
Ptolemy thought the earth was the center of the universe, so that the stars, the other planets and the sun revolved around the earth; Copernicus realized that for the orbits of the planets to make sense, the earth and the other planets had to revolve around the sun.
What is a sentence for revovled?
He thought the world revolved around him.The door revolved around and around.
How has the historical model of the solar system helped to bring about technological devrlopments?
The first model of the solar system was the geocentric model that said that the planets revolved around the earth. All of the calculations came out correct, so when Galileo came up with his heliocentric model of the universe, he got much resistance. The heliocentric model said that the planets revolved around the sun. Also, Galileo thought that the planets revolved in perfect circles, which threw off his calculations. It turned out that the planets revolved in ellipses, and once this was discovered, the calculations panned out. This is considered a paradigm shift, going from one widely accepted view to another. This has set the stage for many subsequent paradigm shifts.
