His theory like the Aristotelean epicycles theory assumed motions were based on circles. Thus even though his theory was simpler than Aristotle's his predictions did not agree as well with measurement. It was not until Kepler changed the circles to ellipses that Copernicus's theory gave predictions that agreed better with measurement than Aristotle's theory did that it was finally easy to accept the Copernican sun centered system.

How can an stm help improve daltons theory?

An STM (scanning tunneling microscope) can help improve Dalton's atomic theory by providing visual evidence of individual atoms and their arrangements on surfaces. This experimental data can offer insights into the precise structure and behavior of atoms, supporting or refining Dalton's ideas based on empirical observation. Additionally, STM allows for the direct observation of atomic interactions and bonding, which can lead to a deeper understanding of atomic behavior beyond what Dalton's theory originally proposed.
