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.
