He wrote that other planets for example, Mars moved in elliptical, or oval, orbits instead of circular ones.

Who discovered that your universe is heliocentric?
No one person, but big contributors were Copernicus (1543), Kepler (1609), Newton (1687) and Bessel (1838).
What do Copernicus Galileo kapler and newton have in common?
Galileo did not have his own theory. He was a supporter of Copernicus's heliocentric theory and an opponent of the geocentric Ptolemaic theory. Eventually both theories were rejected in favour of Kepler's theory. But Kepler's theory uses the heliocentric idea from Copernicus's theory.
Why might Copernicus be consider as father of astronomy?
Because he was the first astronomer in modern times to devise a new model of the planets' orbits with the Sun at the centre. Copernicus's model of 1543 was rejected after Kepler's theory of 1609 was supported by later theories of dynamics, but Kepler retained the heliocentric principle and Copernicus's work was an important stage in the process of development of ideas.
How did Kepler disagree with Copernicus?
Kepler believed in different descriptions of Planetary Orbit then Copernicus. penis
Was Copernicus right or did his idea need some tweaking and how?
Copernicus produced the first heliocentric theory of the planets' movements among the stars in1543. He used the idea that the Sun is at the centre, plus a whole lot more detail that has now been superseded. The modern theory is that of Kepler (1609), which resembles the Copernicus model only in so far as it is also heliocentric.
Kepler's first law worked where Copernicus' original heliocentric model failed because Kepler described the orbits as?
Copernicus's theory did not fail but it was not as accurate as the Kepler model because it did not include elliptical orbits for the planets, as Kepler's model did. However the data for calculating the elliptical orbits did not become available until well after Copernicus's death so he had no chance of knowing about this change. Copernicus's model which used circles and epicycles was accurate to the standard of the observations that were available to him.
How did Kepler's work improve on or support Copernicus' heliocentric?
Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.

What is the scientific basis of the heliocentric theory?
Copernicus and later Galileo and Kepler. Venus was found to have phases Jupiter was found to have moons Elliptical orbits which Kepler found would later be described by gravity Start there.

What are the contributions of Johann Kepler in the field of physics?
Johannes Kepler corrected Copernicus by stating that the planets revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits, not in circular orbits. That became one of Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Altogether, Kepler formulated three "laws of planetary motion" based on the heliocentric model of Copernicus.

What did nicolaus Copernicus ask Johannes Kepler?
Nothing. Copernicus died years before Kepler was born.
