Why do scientists not believe in ptolemaic model?
Scientists do not believe in the Ptolemaic model because it is based on the idea that the Earth is the center of the universe, which has been disproven by evidence showing that the Earth orbits the Sun, not the other way around. Modern astronomical observations and mathematical models support the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, which more accurately explains the movements of planets in our solar system.
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 greek scientist devised the qeocentric model?
The geocentric model, also known as the Ptolemaic system, is a theory that was developed by philosophers in Ancient Greece and was named after the in science and technology, the geocentric model seems preposterous.
What was the purpose of the epicycle in the Ptolemaic model?
The epicycle in the Ptolemaic model was used to explain the retrograde motion of planets. It involved planets moving on small circular orbits within the larger orbit around Earth. By incorporating epicycles, Ptolemy was able to account for the observed motions of the planets in the night sky.
It took two centuries for the Copernican model to replaced the Ptolemaic model because?
The short answer: when people's world views are challenged in such a manner that contradicts a previously affirmed belief system, they have difficulty accepting the significant change. There was much resistance to the idea of the sun being the centre of the universe as opposed to the earth. [Insert a great deal of study of Western History, Science and Religion here]

What is the centre in the Ptolemaic model of the universe?
Earth
In the Ptolemaic (Greek) model of the universe the stars are attached to the?
celestial sphere . . . ?
What was a major flaw of the Ptolemaic model?
A major flaw of the Ptolemaic model was its complexity in explaining the retrograde motion of planets. Ptolemy introduced the concept of epicycles and deferents to account for this, which made the model overly complicated and not as accurate as later models, such as the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.
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.
Did it take 2 centuries for copernican models replace ptolemaic model?
yes
Ask me a question :)?
how did the ptolemaic model supposedly agree with the bible
How does the Ptolemaic model differ from the modern day model?
The Ptolemaic model has all of the planets moons and stars moving around the Sun. The modern day Copernican model has all the planets moving around the Sun, with the moons moving around the planets, and the Sun and its "system" moving around the Milky Way.
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
Which Scientists disaprove Ptolemys geosentric theory of the universe?
Galileo and Copernicus were two of the scientists to disprove Ptolemy's geocentric theory of the universe. The Ptolemaic theory stated that the center was earth.
Why don't scientists accept the steady state theory?
Scientists do not widely accept the steady state theory because it does not align with observed evidence such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the Hubble expansion of the universe. These observations strongly support the Big Bang theory, which is the prevailing cosmological model.
What was not a major advantage of Copernicus' Sun-centered model over the Ptolemaic model?
It made significantly better predictions of planetary positions in our sky.
