How was tycho brahe's theory of the universe different from those of the earlier astronomers?
Roughly, the Tycho Brahe model of the solar system was something between the ptolemic geocentric model of the solar system and the copernican heliocentric model. The sun still revolved around the earth but all other planets revolved around the sun. Interestingly, it was Tycho's pupil Kepler, that refined the Copernican model to include elliptical orbits (until then, orbits were assumed to be perfect circles).
What planetary model allows scientists to predict the exact positions of planets in night sky over many years?
Either the heliocentric or the geocentric model would allow predictions of thefuture motions of the planets. It was not the inability to predict that sackedthe geocentric model. It was the simplicity of the heliocentric model. Kepler'shypothetical ellipses helped a lot, and Newton's gravitation sealed the deal,when he showed that heliocentric, elliptical planetary orbits, just as Keplerdescribed them, had to spring forth from gravitation.
What was the name of the CBS program from the 1950's-1960's that showed movies around 4 o'clock every day?
If this was on at 4pm, then it was probably not CBS but the local affiliate that aired it.
How did scientists change society's view of smoking after 1960?
-- they showed that smoking causes cancer :) kymmie
What episode is it when American Pickers American Restoration and Pawn Stars combined and which show showed it?
All of the ahows showed it, but it was old man's birthday.
What was Kepler contribution to astronomy?
He showed that the planets traveled in elliptical orbits
His calculations showed that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits?
Kepler
Who gathered the data that showed that the planets travel in elliptical paths around the sun?
Tycho Brahe.
Who showed that your universe is heliocentricthe planets of the solar system revolve around the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus
Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are?
Ellipses.
What was created because of Mayan priest's interest in astronomy?
they showed there farminess to the other indians.
Who drew a model that showed the sun and planets going round the earth?
Copernicus
What was the name of the scientist who showed that gravity keeps planets and moons in orbit?
Isaac Newton
Who showed that planets and moons stay in orbit due to gravity?
Sir Isaac Newton showed that all objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force, in other words, he was the one that showed that planets and moons stay in orbit due to gravity :)
Who showed that electrons revolve around the nucleus in set orbits?
you showed it
List two factors that Newton showed combined to keep the planets in their elliptical orbits?
gravity and inertia
How did newton use observations of nature to explain the movements of planets?
He once saw an apple falling from a tree, and he wondered whether the force that pulled that apple to earth might also control the movements of planets. In the next 2o years, Newton perfected his theory. Using mathematics, he showed that a single force keeps the planets in their orbit around the sun. He called this force gravity (:
