What did Galileo confirm when he discovered the phases of venus and sunspots?

He discovered that interesting results could be obtained by using a telescope.


Did Galileo Discover Venus's?

No. He discovered the phases of venus.


What did Galileo discover in the different phases of Venus?

Galileo discovered, in his observations of the different phases of Venus, that Venus and the Earth were revolving around the Sun. This was contrary to the misconception at the time that everything revolved around the Earth.


Can Tycho's model explain the phases of venus as observed by Galileo?

No, Tycho's model cannot explain the phases of Venus observed by Galileo. Tycho's model proposed an Earth-centric system with the planets revolving around the Sun, which would not account for the varying phases of Venus. Galileo's observations of Venus' phases provided evidence in support of the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.


What is the significance of Galileo observation of the phases of Venus?

The phases of the planet Venus are the different variations of lighting seen on the planet's surface


Did Galileo discover the Moon's phrases?

Well yes and no. The phases of the moon were understood well before Galileo --- however Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter and no doubt their associated phases --- as well as the phases of Venus.


Who was the first astronomer to see the phases of Venus?

Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to see the phases of Venus in 1610, providing evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus.


How did Galileo discover the planet Venus's?

He did not discover the planet Jupiter. He only used his telescope to see its four largest moons. The planet is and always has been visible to the naked eye and was known to people since ancient times.


What did Galileo find in his scientific observations that convinced him that Ptolemy had been wrong?

When Galileo observed that there are satellites which orbit the planet Jupiter, this was clear evidence that not everything orbits the Earth.

What were the two observations that Galileo made through the telescope that supported the heliocentric model?

Galileo discovered two important things: the moons of Jupiter and the phases of venus. Both discoveries raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic system which was geocentric, and the phases of Venus showed that it was definitely wrong. But neither discovery proved that Copernicus's theory - supported by Galileo - was right. This is because Tycho's geocentric system explained the phases of Venus satisfactorily.


How did Copernicus' heliocentric model help Galileo?

Copernicus' heliocentric model provided the framework for Galileo to further explore and confirm through his observations with the telescope. Galileo's discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, provided empirical evidence in support of the heliocentric model and contributed to its acceptance over the geocentric model.
