Is it true that Brahe was the first astronomer to understand that the planets orbited the sun in an ellipse?

No, Brahe did not believe in the heliocentric model; he proposed a geocentric model where planets orbited the Sun and the Sun orbited the Earth. It was Johannes Kepler who later discovered that planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical path, using Brahe's detailed observational data.


What suggested that the sun and moon orbited earth and the rest of the planets orbited the sun?

The geocentric model, proposed by ancient astronomers like Ptolemy, suggested that the sun and moon orbited the Earth, while the planets revolved around the sun. However, observations by astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler provided evidence for the heliocentric model, where planets, including Earth, orbit the sun. Galileo's telescopic observations, like the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, supported this shift in understanding, demonstrating that not everything orbited the Earth. Kepler's laws of planetary motion further solidified the heliocentric model by explaining the elliptical orbits of planets around the sun.

Who discover that the planets orbited the sun in an ellipse?

This particular innovation was made by Johannes Kepler, which resulted in the observations of the planets finally falling precisely into the calculations that were made with the heliocentric theory.


Who realized that the planets moves around the sun?

Issac Newton shortly after discovering the gravity theory

How was Copernicus model of the universe different from ptolemy's?

Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the moon.No. The above answer is incorrect.Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the EARTH in epicycles. Not the moon. (The model that modeled the planets orbiting earth was the Geocentric model. Aristotle theorized this.)Copernicus's model is known as the Heliocentric model. Ptolemy's theory of epicycles is when the planets revolved in large circles around Earth.

What was Copernicus' theory about the sun and planets. how was it different from what people believed before?

Copernicus's theory was called the Heliocentric Theory. It said that the Earth and planets orbited around the sun, and the Sun was the center of the universe. The previous theory, mainly advocated by the Catholic Church, was called the Geocentric Theory; which stated that the Sun and planets orbited around the Earth, and that the Earth was the center of the Universe.

Who concluded that all planets must orbit around the sun because evidence suggested that Venus orbited the sun?

Galileo Galilei concluded that all planets must orbit around the sun after observing that Venus exhibited phases similar to the moon, which could only be explained if Venus orbited the sun.


What was the old model of the solar system called?

geocentric model, where the sun and other planets orbited the Earth.


What evidence did Galileo discover for the sun center model of the solar system?

Galileo discovered Jupiter's Moons. After them for a while, he realized that they orbited around the planet. He took a look at Mars and Venus and realized that they orbited around the Sun. This let him think that the Earth was orbiting the sun as well. His theory here, however, argued against Ptolemic's model thinking that the Earth was the center.
