Tycho, for the most part, just gathered a vast amount of data of the planets and their movements. He didn't really do much analyzing of the data to come up with laws or theories. That was done after his death by his assistant, Johannes Kepler, who took that very data and discovered alot about how the planets move and orbit the sun.

But Tycho's contribution was significant because he devised ways of measuring the positions of planets and other objects that were more accurate than ever before. These allowed Kepler to do better calcuations than before and discover the small differences between the old model of planetary orbits and the elliptical orbits that Kepler discovered and passed on to later scientists.

How did Kepler steal Tycho Brahe's data?

Kepler did not literally steal Tycho Brahe's data; rather, he inherited it after Brahe's death in 1601. Brahe had meticulously collected astronomical observations over many years, but he had not fully analyzed them. Kepler, who had been working as Brahe's assistant, gained access to this invaluable data and used it to formulate his own laws of planetary motion, ultimately revolutionizing the understanding of celestial mechanics.


What was Tycho Brahe contribution to science?

Tycho Brahe greatly increased the accuracy of measurements in regards to the night sky and planetary orbits/motion. (this was a big problem back in the day and delayed many of the heliocentric proposals) His meticulous work in his calculations and data was an impetus for Kepler's later success in the formation of his famous planetary laws.


Which scientist spent 20 years plotting the positions of the planet?

Kepler spent 20 years plotting the positions of the planet no he did not.


How did Tycho Brahes work help Kepler develop his laws of planetary motion?

Kepler was Brahe's assistant. He continued to analyze Brahe's data after Brahe's died. Kepler determine that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical, or ovalshaped, orbits. He also developed three laws that describe planetary motion. These laws are still used today. Hope I explained this clearly(:


How did Tycho Brahms help to refute the Earth-Centric Theory?

Tycho Brahe collected extensive observational data on planetary movements, particularly Mars, which Johannes Kepler later used to develop his laws of planetary motion. Brahe's accurate measurements allowed Kepler to show that planetary orbits are elliptical, not circular as previously believed, providing evidence against the Earth-centered theory.

How did Tycho Brahe and Kepler employ scientific method?

Tycho Ottesen Brahe (1546-1601) spent a long time taking exact measurements of the sky from his observatory. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) assisted Brahe and analized the data and extrapolated "The laws of motion" and discovered orbits were elliptical.
