Copernican system who supported this belief and who did not?

The Copernican system, which proposed that the Earth revolved around the Sun, was supported by astronomers like Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo Galilei. However, it faced opposition from religious authorities, such as the Catholic Church, who adhered to the geocentric model of the universe.


What did the Copernican war demonstrate?

The Copernican War demonstrated the importance of understanding the natural world through observation and reason. It led to a shift in scientific thinking towards heliocentrism, with the Earth rotating around the sun, challenging previous geocentric views. This paved the way for the development of modern astronomy and our understanding of the universe.


Why models of the ealry ptolemy solar system were replaced by the copernican model?

The early Ptolemaic model placed Earth at the center of the solar system, which led to complex explanations for retrograde motion of planets. The Copernican model shifted the center to the Sun, providing a simpler explanation for planetary movements. Additionally, the Copernican model was supported by observational evidence and eventually gained wider acceptance due to its better predictive power.


Did Tycho believe in the Copernican model of heliocentrism?

No, Tycho believed the Earth was at the centre, and he produced an alternative geocentric model that fully explained Venus's phases, which the old Ptolemaic system failed to do.This spoilt Galileo's argument that the Copernican system must be correct and the Sun must be at the centre. However the modern view is that the Sun is at the centre, for reasons that Galileo was not aware of in his lifetime.


What lead to Galileo being put on trial?

Galileo expressed his support of the Copernican theory that the Earth and planets revolved around the Sun. But that wasn't exactly a trial.
