How did Copernicus and Brahe differ in their views about the universe?

Copernicus thought that is was heliocentric theory ( that the earth revolves around the sun) and Brahe thought that it was geocentric ( that everything revolves aroung the earth )


What did Tycho Brahe have right about his theory?

Tycho Brahe's theory improved on the Ptolemaic theory of the planets by explaining the phases of Venus, which the Ptolemaic theory failed to do. Tycho's theory still had the Earth at the centre. Later all the old theories of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Tycho were replaced by Kepler's elliptical orbits in 1609.


How was nicholas Copernicus research proven by Johannes Kepler?

Kepler's theory eventually replaced Copernicus's theory after Tycho Brahe's measurements enabled Kepler to realise that the planets move in elliptical orbits and not in the circles and epicycles of the older Ptolemaic and Copernican models. Copernicus was able to simplify the older model by placing the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth. Kepler in his new theory of 1609 retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.


Andreas Vesalius discovery of the sun?

He was an anatomist, and had nothing to do with Astronomy. Nicholas Copernicus was the first person to produce a heliocentric (sun centered) theory, but most people rejected it at the time because experts believed that Earth was the center of everything. Tycho Brahe accepted his theory though, and created an observatory. He provided evidence of Copernicus's theory.


What was brahe's theory?

Brahe also favored the theory that the earth was the center of the universe.


Who used the data of Tycho Brahe to prove the accuracy of Copernicus?

Johannes Kepler


What is contribution of Kepler?

Kepler used Tycho Brahe's data to establish the heliocentric theory of the solar system.


Contary to ptolemy what did Copernicus argue concerning the construction of the universe?

Copernicus came up with a new theory of the planets' movements among the stars in 1543. It had the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth, which was in the centre in the ancient Ptolemaic theory. Both theories used circles and epicycles to describe the planet's orbits, which they modelled quite accurately. Copernicus's theory was promoted by Galileo. The modern theory retains Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre, but it uses elliptical orbits for the planets and was devised by Kepler (1609) working with the latest observations by Tycho Brahe.


Why were people before Copernicus unable to find out what he found out when people coming after him could prove his ideas were correct?

because before Copernicus there was not much technology and later on in time there was more discoveries of existence of technology. which means people were able to prove his ideas. <3 <<>> Copernicus had a theory of the way the planets move around that had some advantages over the older Ptolemaic system which had the Earth at the centre. Copernicus had the Sun at the centre, which caused problems with the church when Galileo took the theory up and promoted it as the truth. Tycho Brahe also produced a system with the Earth at the centre. Tycho's system removed some of the faults in the Ptolemaic theory, specifically the full range of Venus's phases. Finally, the theory that lasted until modern times was that of Johannes Kepler (1609). He used the new idea of elliptical orbits, and also followed Copernicus in placing the Sun at the centre. Kepler's theory was generally accepted after Newton's expanation of elliptical orbits in terms of the theory of gravity.


In which model of the solar system does venus show a full range of phases from full to new geocentric or heliocentric?

The answer is - both. That is because Tycho Brahe had a geocentric theory that explained the full range of phases for Venus, but also the theories of Copernicus and Kepler both explained the phases of Venus.The only theory which did not explain the full range of phases was the old Ptolemaic theory (Historikeren 16-07-2015).


What scientist rejected the heliocentric?

The Helio-centric theory was proposed by a Polish astronomer , named Nicolaus Copernicus. Galileo believed this.


Who used mathematics to prove the theories of Copernicus?

In physics, theories are not mathematically proved but instead they are compared with physical observations to see if they are correct. Copernicus's theory was not just an idea that the Sun is at the centre, but also a detailed mathematical system of circle and epicycles that provided a model of the planets' orbits. At the time of Copernicus and for a time afterwards, his theory was used to predict the planets' positions, and when the predictions were found to be 'correct', the theory was considered 'proved' . But later Tycho Brahe developed more accurate measurement techniques, and using those he discovered small errors in the predicted positions of the planets. That led to Kepler's work and the discovery of elliptical orbits.
