Copernicus was correct in believing in the heliocentric model of the Solar System, which said the planets rotated round the sun. Ptolemy accepted the traditional geocentric view which had the Earth at the centre of the Solar System.

The main difference was that Ptolemy's model was geocentric (Earth-centred) and Copernicus's was heliocentric (Sun-centred). Ptolemy's model came from ancient times while Copernicus's was much later (1543). Both models represented the planets' orbits by using combinations of circles and epicycles to explain the way the planets move among the stars. Copernicus found that the orbits of the inner planets could be explained more simply. That is to say that the epicycles used for all the orbits were smaller, and for the inner planets a lot smaller. Both models represented the planets' positions with reasonable accuracy given the crude observational methods used in those days. Until gravity and the laws of dynamics were discovered about 150 years after the publication of Copernicus's system, there was no way of deciding which model was the 'right' one.
it means that Copernicus ( the discoverer ) felt as if the sun is the center of the universe. ptolemy and Copernicus bumped heads for years because ptolemy belived that the earth was the center of the universe
Nicolas Copernicus first said this in the early 1500's. Before him, most people thought that the solar system revolved around the Earth. However, if one watches the planets for enough nights, eventually they will make some strange loops that Ptolemy called "epicycles" Ptolemy's system, which lasted for about 2,000 years, was extremely complicated. Copernicus's system, though, was relatively simple; he drew perfect circles (Johannes Kepler later proved that planets follow elliptical orbits) to represent the orbits of the planets known at the time. Despite his one inaccuracy (perfect circles), Copernicus's theory was still one giant step in the right direction.

well, one controversy was that the church during that time was not going to w=sway from Ptolemy's theory of geocentricity. They believed that the bible said that man was the center of the universe, but really, Copernicus' theory of heliocentricity was correct.Like a girls vagina
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to establish the theory that the Sun, and not the Earth, was the center of the solar system. This heliocentric theory changed the former one set in 150 AD by Ptolemy. It had a huge impact, forcing the Catholic Church, mired in Ptolemaic thought and timekeeping, to admit wrong and institute change.

Ptolemy invented improved projections. It is known that a world map based on the Geography was on display in Autun(France) in late Roman times. In the 15th century this work was printed with beautifully drawn maps. They look distorted as compared to modern maps, because his data were inaccurate. One reason is that Ptolemy estimated the Earth too small he has small balls
Copernicus never married, nor did he have children.Didn't have one
Because this question was in the Cleopatra section, I am assuming that you are asking about Ptolemy XIV, her brother. Yes, he had at least one brother, who was also called Ptolemy and reigned as Ptolemy XIII. If you are not asking about Ptolemy XIV, then you are asking about an unidentified one of the other Ptolemies, of whom there were many, including fifteen Egyptian kings, the famous astronomer Claudius Ptolemy, and ten or more others. In this case, the question is unanswerable.
Nicolas Copernicus was influenced by his uncle, after his father died when Nicolas was only ten. His uncle educated him. Also, note people spell his name many different ways so pick which one i guess..
