Compare the way Ptolemy provided proof for his theory with the way Kepler provided proof for his theory?
The reason why Ptolemy was able to win the world over to his Geocentric viewpoint was because he was able to algebraically prove geo-centrism through the implementation of epi-cycles. TOn the other hand, Johannes Kepler, after analysing Tycho Brahe's observations, constructed his three laws in 1609 and 1619, based on a heliocentric view where the planets moves in elliptical paths. Using these laws, he was the first astronomer to successfully predict a transit of Venus for the year 1631.I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

When were elliptical orbits discovered?
That has never been proven, and it's impossible to prove. It's "only a theory".However, in the 16th Century, Johannes Kepler showed that IF that's what's happening, then itwould accurately explain all the motions of the sun, moon, and planets that we actually do see inthe sky.Since that model so successfully explained what we see ... and a century later, Newton showedthat if his ideas about gravity were correct, then planets have to travel elliptical paths aroundthe sun ... Kepler's model was accepted as the best theory. But it can't be proven.And not only that! If you find something seen in the sky that Kepler's model doesn't explain, orif you come up with an explanation that fits the observations with better accuracy, then Kepler'stheory will be thrown out, and yours will become the accepted one.That's how Science works.
Who predict that the planets circle around the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish mathematician and astronomer, proposed the heliocentric model in the 16th century, stating that the planets, including Earth, orbit around the Sun. This model replaced the geocentric model that had Earth at the center of the universe.
What year did Alfred Wegener come up with Continental Drift?
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of Continental Drift in 1912.
What date will Nibire come clostest to earth?
There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Nibiru, also known as Planet X. It is a conspiracy theory and not recognized by the astronomical community. Therefore, we cannot provide a date for when it will come closest to Earth.
What time period does the heliocentric theory come from?
The heliocentric theory, which posits that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, originated in the 16th century. It was proposed by astronomers such as Nicolaus Copernicus and further developed by Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler during the Scientific Revolution.
Would Johannes Kepler have been as successful as he was if Brahe had not come before him?
Johannes Kepler
What conclusion did Kepler eventually come to that revolutionized the heliocentric model of the solar system?
kepler determined the planetary orbits were elliptical
Did the theory of natural selection come before heliocentric theory?
No. Not by a long shot.
What is use of Johannes Kepler's invention telescope?
A telescope is used to magnify things that are far away.That said, I'm not sure who told you that Johannes Kepler invented the telescope. He didn't invent the telescope itself, but he did come up with a new design. Kepler's design uses a convex lens at the eyepiece rather than a concave one. This has several advantages, but a couple of disadvantages, such as the image appearing upside down. This makes it largely useless for terrestrial work, but it's suitable for astronomy, which is what Kepler was interested in anyway.
What astronamer was imprisoned for agreeing with the heliocentric theory?
There were several. The ones that come to mind are Copernicus and Bruno (who was actually burnt at the stake).

What was the timeline of the geocentric theory?
Ptolemy's model of the universe was geocentric, but he did not come up with the theory of geocentricity, The theory that the Earth was the center of everything is thought to have come about during the 4th century BC.

How did humanism effect Johannes Kepler's work?
Humanists like to think of the universe as a cohesive whole, and believe that everything has a reason. This belief caused Kepler to try to come up with holistic interpretations of astronomical truths, so, even though he gathered a lot of empirical evidence, much of his work that we ignore in modern times was speculation on the structure of the universe. For example, he was pretty excited to come up with a theory based on geometric structures and how they fit in with the orbit of the planets. Look up Kepler's Polygons. It makes a nice picture, but it later turned out to be wrong. Kepler also refused to use the Copernican system (though he was okay with the Tychonian system, apparently?) because having the sun in the center of the universe messed up his perception of the natural order of things. All in all, Kepler refused to publish anything unless it fit in with his humanistic perceptions. He did end up finishing Tycho Brahe's planetary charts, though.
Why did catholic church leaders oppose Galileo's sun centered model of the universe?
The Bible is written from an implicitly geocentric viewpoint, so if we take the Bible as the ultimate authority on everything, then it would be wrong to come to other conclusions such as the heliocentric theory, merely by observing the way the universe actually is. Incidentally, although Galileo did support the heliocentric theory, it was originally proposed by Copernicus. It isn't Galileo's model. Galileo did contribute to this theory with his astronomical observations, however.
When did Galileo come up with his theory earth spins and also orbits the sun?
Galileo first proposed his theory that the Earth spins and orbits the Sun in the early 17th century, around the early 1600s. This theory was a key component of his broader support for the heliocentric model of the solar system.
