Nicolaus Copernicus contributed to our understanding of the solar system by proposing the heliocentric model, which positioned the Sun at the center instead of the Earth, fundamentally changing the way we view our place in the cosmos. Additionally, his work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," provided detailed mathematical calculations that explained the apparent retrograde motion of planets, laying the groundwork for future astronomers like Kepler and Galileo to further explore and refine the model of planetary motion.
