Why do scientists not accept the ptolemaic model?
The Ptolemaic model is also known as the geocentric model, where the Earth is at the center of the solar system. Scientists refute this because orbital paths show that the solar system is heliocentric.
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]

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?

How did galileos findings with the telescope disprove the Ptolemaic theory?
A model is never technically disproven or proven. The ptolemaic model is no longer accepted because it does not adequately explain observations. The heliocentric model was accepted gradually because it was a better explanation for observed phenomena. However, people continued to believe the ptolemaic model long after it was irrational to do so.
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?
