What else can I help you with?
Who put the idea that the earth and the planets circle around the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus
Why do you think it took a long time for people to accept that earth and planets orbit the sun?
In addition to the above answer, in Europe the idea that the planets and revolved around Earth had become part of the religious doctrine thought by the Catholic Church. Most people do not easily give up their religious beliefs and the Church wielded great political power at the time.
What was Ptolemy's idea on space?
that the earth was in the middle of the universe
What was Copernicus' idea of the motion of the planets?
He believed in Heliocentrism (That the sun was the centre of the universe, not Earth).
How did newtons idea about the orbit of the planets differ from Kepler's idea?
That the Sun was in the center, not Earth as the Church had said for many years.
Who presented the idea that all the planets orbit the sun and that the earth itself is also a planet?
Nicolaus Copernicus .
What truth was discovered by Galileo that is depicted burning in the fire with him?
Heliocentrism is the "truth" discovered by Galileo that is depicted burning in the fire with him. Heliocentrism is the idea that Earth and the other planets in our galaxy revolve around the Sun. The fire in the picture represents the sun, with the surrounding people representing the planets and the Earth's moon. Hope this helped!
Is the orbit for each planet getting shorter?
Yes, according to many scientists' theories, the sun is pulling the planets closer to it. JUST KIDDING! No idea really...
Astronomers knew that the planets varied in brightness throughout the year. How did Ptolemy's model of the universe account for this?
Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe accounted for the varying brightness of planets through the concept of epicycles. In this model, planets moved in small circular orbits (epicycles) that were themselves centered on larger circular paths (deferents) around the Earth. This system allowed for changes in distance and position relative to both the Earth and the Sun, explaining the observed variations in brightness as planets moved closer or farther away from the Earth during their orbits. Additionally, Ptolemy's model included the idea that planets could reflect varying amounts of sunlight, further contributing to the differences in brightness.
What is the description of the solar system in which all the planets revolve around earth?
The concept that all planets revolve around Earth is known as the geocentric model. This idea was proposed by early astronomers before the heliocentric model, with Copernicus and Galileo helping to advance the understanding that Earth and other planets actually revolve around the Sun.
Does all the planets revolve around the earth?
No, all the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun. The idea that all celestial bodies revolve around the Earth is known as the geocentric model, which has been replaced by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
What are the planets from the sun out?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. Ceres and the last four are designated dwarf planets, but you get the idea.
