When it was believed that the planets revolved around the Earth, the planetary paths were plotted and were erratic and did not comply with the laws of motion and gravity as we now understand them. That was overlooked by the believers in an Earth centered Solar System.

When the Sun centered Solar System was theorized by Copernicus, the paths of the planets around the Sun became organized into relatively circular (or elliptical). Much simpler, and following the Laws of Motion as proposed by Newton.

How do scientists inform other scientists about their views on classifications?

Scientists typically publish their views on classifications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, present their findings at conferences, and engage in discussions with other scientists in the field. This allows for a thorough exchange of ideas, feedback, and critiques among scientific peers.

How does Kepler and first law of planetary motion overthrow one of the basic beliefs of classical astronomy How about Kepler and second law?

Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, which states that planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths rather than perfect circles, challenged the classical astronomy belief that planetary orbits were circular and uniform. This shift underscored the complexities of celestial mechanics and the sun's central role in the solar system. Kepler's Second Law further refuted classical views by demonstrating that a planet moves faster when closer to the sun and slower when farther away, highlighting the variable speed of planetary motion and contradicting the notion of uniform circular motion.

What telescope shows different views of planets?

A refracting telescope can show different views of planets by adjusting the eyepiece magnification. By changing the eyepiece, you can increase or decrease the magnification to see different details and perspectives of the planet. This allows for different views of the planetary surface, rings, or moons.

Are Copernicus' views accepted today?

Not by the scientific community, but his extensive data was used by Keppler to figure out that planets had eliptical orbits. this led to kepplers laws of planetary motion.
