Why did Galileo think plants revolve around the sun?
Galileo thought planets revolved around the sun because when he observed Jupiter, he noticed that its moons revolved around Jupiter and not earth. So everything else led up to that the Earth revolved around the sun.
How did scientists views on the planetary paths change over time?
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.
What did ptlomey believe?
Ptolemy believed in a geocentric model of the universe, in which Earth was at the center and the planets and sun revolved around it in circular orbits. He also developed mathematical theories to explain the motion of celestial bodies.
Why is part of earth dark?
Earth has revolved around the sun.
Which astronomers is credited as the first to theorize the planets orbit around the Sun?
The astronomer credited as the first to theorize that the planets orbit around the Sun (heliocentrism) is Nicolaus Copernicus. He developed the heliocentric model of the solar system, which proposed that the Sun was at the center and the planets, including Earth, revolved around it in circular orbits. This theory was a departure from the earlier geocentric model, which posited that Earth was at the center of the universe and everything orbited around it. Copernicus's work laid the foundation for the modern understanding of the solar system's structure and motion.
List the three most famous scientists of the Hellenistic Age?
Aristarchus found out the planets revolved around the sun, not he sun revolved around Earth.
How did Eudoxus think the planets moved?
Eudoxus thought that the planets revolved around the Earth not the Sun.
What are some of Copernicus' discoveries and contributions?
he discovered that the earth revolved around the sun (heliocentricity) and at that time everyone believed that the sun/planets revolved around the earth (geocentricity)
Who said that earth and all of the planets revolved around the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus.
How did people views of earths as a planet change during the renaissance?
Before the Renaissance, people believed the planets and the sun revolved around the Earth. During the Renaissance, Copernicus discovered and that the Earth and the planets revolved around the sun.
What scientific discovery did Galileo prove that was controversial during this time?
He discovered that the planets revolved around the sun instead of the planets & the sun revolving around Earth.
Why did Copernicus think that stars are farther from earth than the planets are?
He knew that the planets revolved around the sun in an elliptical orbit.
How did Galileo become a satellite?
galileo did because he proved that all the planets revolved around the sun......NOT THE EARTH!!
What was Nicolaus Copernicus position in beliefs?
Nicolaus Copernicus believed that the planets revolved around the sun. At the time, it was believed that the sun and planets revolved around Earth. Because of this, when after his works were published (which didn't happen until just before he died), followers of Copernicus were considered heretics.
What is the difference between a geocentric and heliocentric model of the solar system?
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.
