Nicholas Copernicus stated that the Earth rotates on an axis and orbits around the Sun. To come about this he used circles moving in an orbit, or circular way, to support his system about Earth and its rotation. He used fixed stars, or "non moving" stars, to show the motion of other planets.

Nicolaus Copernicus is important because he found out that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Not the Sun and other planets revolving around Earth. <<>> Copernicus was important because he was the first one to come up with a theory of the planets that had the Sun at the centre. It was not really a discovery, more an alternative way of explaining what was already known about the planets. The discovery had to wait until Kepler and Newton came up with better theories that explained exactly how the planets moved, in detail.
i have no idea, sorry! hahahah :D
Copernicus' discovery that the Earth revolves around the Sun, also known as the heliocentric model, challenged the prevailing geocentric view held by the Catholic Church. This caused controversy and sparked opposition from some religious authorities. However, Copernicus is considered a pioneer of the Scientific Revolution and his discovery ultimately revolutionized our understanding of the universe.
Polish monk Copernicus was the first to state this theory during the Scientific Revolution, however you should know that Muslims had already come to this conclusion. Whether or not Copernicus took European credit from a Muslim discovery is still undetermined.
He was the first astromoner to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology which displaced the earth from the center of the universe.
