The machine that show the orbits of the planets around the sun?

You're referring to an orrery, a mechanical model that demonstrates the relative positions and motions of planets in the solar system. It helps visualize the orbits of planets around the sun and their interactions with each other. Orreries are educational tools used to teach about celestial mechanics and planetary motion.

Who was put in jail because he told people Copernicus model was correct?

It was not about modelling, it was about reality. Galileo was put in jail for heresy after he continued to say publicly that the Copernican model was the absolute truth, after he had been told by the church that he could use it and teach it only as a model to represent the planets. The model that is now accepted by everyone including the church is the one discovered by Kepler in 1609, which Galileo did not accept at the time because it uses elliptical orbits instead of the perfect circles of the Copernican theory.


What were 2 of Galileo's greatest accomplishments and why did the Catholic Church react towards him after his ideas were being spread?

Galileo promoted the Copernican model of the planets, with the Sun at the centre. The church told him not to say it was the absolute truth but just to teach it as a theory for predicting the planets' positions, pending more conclusive proof. He discovered things with his telescope that raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic system with the Earth at the centre. The moons of Jupiter were definitely not orbiting the Earth, and the full range of Venus's phases were a major failure of the Ptolemaic theory. Galileo maintained this must prove that the Copernican theory must be right: but Tycho produced a model with the Earth at the center that correctly predicted the full range of Venus's phases.
