We have to assume it was his own model since he put so much time into it. He was right because after many subsequent discoveries we still use Kepler's model today.
Earlier theories explained the movements of the planets fairly accurately, but Kepler was able to use the latest accurate measurements of the planets' positions done by Tycho Brahe, and was able to get a better fit to the measured data.
Other than accuracy there was no way of knowing which theory was 'right' until many years later when the elliptical orbits in Kepler's theory were found to be consistent with the law of gravity and the laws of motion.
What else can I help you with?
What is the steady state Universe model?
The steady state Universe model suggests that the Universe has always existed in a constant state with no beginning or end. It proposes that new matter is continuously created to maintain a constant density as the Universe expands. This model has been largely replaced by the Big Bang theory, which offers a different explanation for the origin and evolution of the Universe.
How the geocentric model of the universe stated that?
The geocentric modelof the universe stated that the earth was at the centre of the universe.
What is the sun centered universe name?
The sun-centered universe model is known as the heliocentric model, with the Sun as the center around which the planets orbit. This model was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, challenging the prevailing geocentric model that placed Earth at the center of the universe.
In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe the stars are attached to the?
In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe, the stars are thought to be attached to the celestial sphere, a hypothetical invisible sphere surrounding the Earth to which the stars were fixed. This model placed Earth at the center of the universe with all celestial bodies orbiting around it.
Which model do scientists currently think best explains the shape of universe?
Flat model
Why was Keplers model of the solar system good at the time?
because i say so!
What did the Copernicus universe suggest?
Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
What the ptolemaic of the universe had in the center of the universe?
This model of the universe placed the Earth at the center of the universe
What happened to the existing model of the Universe after Galileo's observation?
Galileo is famous for observing and proving his heliocentric model of the universe. After his observation the existing model of the universe was slowly phased out.
What model of the origin of the universe believes that the universe expands and contracts in a regular pattern?
it is the oscillating model
What is the steady state Universe model?

What is the most reconized model of how the universe begun?

How do you build a model universe?
i did it with paper
What are the limitaions of a model?
it is the center of the universe
What was ptolemy's discoveries?
