The celestial sphere is a sphere, which contains the sky and encompasses the entire earth and has earth as the center of the solar system. While we know this not be true the model does allow for a more convient way to view what is around us.

So basically the model makes it easier for us to see constellations, asterisms, planets and stars in easy to understand model.

That is why it is a model and not a 100% accurate figure.

What caused the movement called the scientific revolution?

Like all changes and new ideas, this involved many scientists who wanted to know more and why things were the way that they were. If you think about how the wheel was invented, it took many people thinking of ways to move large things over long distances. It didn't take a 'ah haw' moment, it took trial and error. The Scientific Revolution began when people began to use the scientific method to explain what they were seeing. It took a very long time and it is still going on today. For example: What is a worm hole?

What is the Size of Ursa Minor?

There are a couple of ways to answer. The constellation, one of the smaller ones, is about 250 square degrees. However, this is an "area" of the sky rather like a political unit on a map, designed to make sure every bit of the celestial sphere is assigned to something. The figure most of us discern when trying to locate the North Star is quite a bit smaller. The "actual" size of the asterism is somewhat illogical, since the stars from Polaris to Pherkad are not on a common surface (as was once thought) but are parsecs "in front" and "behind" each other as well as being laterally separated.
