The phases of Venus are well supported by the heliocentric system, but they are also supported very well by the previous geocentric system.
All you need for Venus to have phases is that Venus should pass between Earth and Sun. That happens in both the heliocentric system and the geocentric system.
Venus goes through phases similar to those of Earth's moon.
Yes because it allowed Venus to go behind the Sun (as seen from the Earth), thus allowing Venus to show the gibbous phase observed by Galileo. Tycho's model had the Moon and Sun orbiting the Earth, and the other five known planets orbiting the Sun. So it was a halfway house between the Ptolemaic system (completely geocentric) and the Copernican system (completely heliocentric). Tychos model was geocentric while correctly modelling Venus's phases. This was significant because it meant that Venus's phases could not be used as a 'proof' of Copernicus's heliocentric model, as attempted by Galileo. Eventually these three models were abandoned to the history books after Kepler's heliocentric system with elliptical orbits was accepted; because (a) it modelled the planets' positions more accurately and (b) it was consistent with the later discoveries of gravity and the laws of motion.
Galileo's telescopic observations of the 4 large moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus helped support the heliocentric model of the solar system developed by Copernicus. Copernicus predicted that all phases would be visible since the orbit of Venus around the Sun would cause its illuminated hemisphere to face the Earth when it was on the opposite side of the Sun and to face away from the Earth when it was on the Earth-side of the Sun. In contrast, the geocentric model of Ptolemy predicted that only crescent and new phases would be seen since Venus was thought to remain between the Sun and Earth during its orbit around the Earth. Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus proved that it orbited the Sun and lent support to (but did not prove) the heliocentric model.
The discovery of the moons of jupiter lent support to. the heliocentric system. If you apply equal forces to a cement truck and a compact car.
Ptolemy thought that the Earth was the center of solar system and most people believed this theory. But Copernicus thought that the Sun was the center of solar system and most people didn't believed this theory. Who was right? Copernicus was right because later Galileo prove that if the Earth was at the center then he couldn't see the phases of Venus. Sentences for heliocentric. Galileo proved that the Copernicus's theory which was heliocentric was right.

Galileo's observations with his telescope supported the concept of heliocentricism. He noted that the satellites of Jupiter and Venus, based on their range of phases, did not match geocentricism supported by Ptolemy. He noted that based on these findings, that the Heliocentric theory was correct.

Galileo Galilee
Nicholas Copernicus is believed to be the first to propose the heliocentric model of the solar system, as it is called. However, the real proof was observed by Galileo Galilei. Using the telescope he greatly improved, he observed that Venus goes through all of the phases, just like the moon. If Venus and the sun were orbiting Earth, that would be impossible.
The proposed the heliocentric system.
