Which did Kepler's observations support?

Answer 1

ok let me put this nice and easy. what he did was this he used the rock cycle and added it to the atmosphere of the earths mass and the simply divided the diameter of the reproductive system by a capillary and then wala he had the answer of a fail

Answer 2

Kepler's calculations showed that Brahe's observations could be explained if:

-- the earth and the other visible planets travel in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus of each ellipse;

and if

-- each body travels fastest when it's nearest the sun; a line from the sun to each body sweeps out

equal areas in equal periods of time.

His calculations made a strong case for this theory, but they didn't prove anything.

Answer 3

Kepler didn't prove anything. After years of study and analysis, he concluded that

each planet travels around the sun on a path the shape of an ellipse, with the sun

at one focus of the ellipse. But he never proved it, and even though he published

his conclusion five hundred years ago, it's still "just a theory".

Kepler's idea was only the best that anyone had come up with to describe the motions

of the planets that we actually see. And even though the theory of gravity that Newton

came up with a hundred years later said that planets had to move the way Kepler said

if the idea of gravity is correct, they're still both only theories. And even though both

theories work well enough to send men to the moon and bring them back, and send

space probes through the rings of Saturn, and place artificial satellites in orbits so

stable that they never seem to move in the sky, they're both still just theories.

Both theories have been generally accepted for hundreds of years. But the weird

thing about it is: They haven't ever been proven, but they can be dis-proven in a day.

If you come up with an explanation that fits the motions we see in the sky more

accurately than Kepler's theory does, and predicts things that haven't been noticed

yet but turn out to be true when we look for them, then Kepler's theory will be

tossed out, and yours will be accepted in its place.

That's how Science works. Science is not so much about proving things that

scientists want to prove. It's more about dis-proving things that a lot of people

believe but are wrong.

Answer 4

The way it simplified the explanation of the motions of all the celestial bodies.

Note:

Good scientists don't 'use' evidence to 'support' theories. Copernicus and Kepler were

a couple of the best, because they were smart enough to know that the evidence always

comes first, and that the theory ... the simplest and most reasonable explanation for the

observational evidence ... comes last. That's the way good science works.

Answer 5

Kepler's observations supported the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus, which stated that the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. This challenged the prevailing geocentric view that placed the Earth at the center of the universe.

Answer 6

Kepler's observations supported the fact that the plants orbit in an ellipse. He wrote the Laws of Planetary Motion stating all planets orbit the sun and all planets orbits are elliptical.

Answer 7

he supported the heliocentric theory
