What Astronomer taught that the earth was the center of the universe?
Nicolaus Copernicus developed and published an astronomical model in 1543 that put the sun at the center of the universe. This model became known as Copernican heliocentrism.
What is a synonym for heliocentric?
look it up on dictionary.com :P Dictionary sources don't give a synonym for heliocentric, they give another term for it: The Copernican Model.
Which model do scientists currently think best explains the shape of universe?
Flat model
What did scientists study to develop a model of the Moon's interior structure?
the phase
Why do scientists not believe in ptolemaic model?
because the work of Tycho and Kepler showed the heliocentric model was more accurate.
What was the Copernican System and who supported this belief and who did not?
The Copernican System is an astronomical model; published in 1543.See more information at the related Wikipedia link listed below.

What is the copernican model?
The model of the Solar System in which the Sun is in the center and the planets (including Earth) orbit it.
Did it take 2 centuries for copernican models replace ptolemaic model?
yes
Why is the Copernican model called the Heliocentric Theory?
Helios is Greek for the Sun, so helio-centric means the Sun is at the centre.
Why models of the ealry ptolemy solar system were replaced by the copernican model?
The Ptolemaic Model followed a geocentric model of the solar system. This was then challenged by Nicolaus Copernicus, who claimed a heliocentric model which sparked an integral part of the Scientific Revolution called, the Copernican Revolution. Copernicus' proposal was followed by the Tychonic Model, with attempted to compromise with the geo- and heliocentric models. Then, Kepler improved by suggesting elliptical orbits. The Copernican Revolution came to a close with further speculation from Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton TL;DR Because they were wrong
What is sun centerd model of solar system?
The Sun-centered or heliocentric model of the solar system is called the Copernican model (after Copernicus) and more closely matches the modern astronomical notions. By contrast, the geocentric or Earth-centric model is often called the Ptolemaic.
Did Tycho believe in the Copernican model of heliocentrism?
No, Tycho believed the Earth was at the centre, and he produced an alternative geocentric model that fully explained Venus's phases, which the old Ptolemaic system failed to do.This spoilt Galileo's argument that the Copernican system must be correct and the Sun must be at the centre. However the modern view is that the Sun is at the centre, for reasons that Galileo was not aware of in his lifetime.
Who was put in jail because he told people Copernicus model was correct?
It was not about modelling, it was about reality. Galileo was put in jail for heresy after he continued to say publicly that the Copernican model was the absolute truth, after he had been told by the church that he could use it and teach it only as a model to represent the planets. The model that is now accepted by everyone including the church is the one discovered by Kepler in 1609, which Galileo did not accept at the time because it uses elliptical orbits instead of the perfect circles of the Copernican theory.

What is model of the solar system has Earth at the center?
The geocentric. The two systems were the geocentric and heliocentric, the former with the earth at the solar system's center, and the latter with the sun. Because Copernicus championed the latter, it is often called the Copernican model.
