When comparing the cosmology of Copernicus with Ptolemy, Copernicus had provided a far
explanation for all the celestial motions.
Ptolemaic-Aristotelian cosmology was a geocentric model of the universe developed by Ptolemy based on Aristotle's ideas. It proposed that the Earth was stationary at the center of the universe, with celestial bodies moving in perfect circular orbits around it. This model dominated Western astronomy until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
The theory of cosmology that Copernicus proposed is called the heliocentric theory. This theory placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the solar system, with the planets orbiting around it.
In the European world, from the time of Aristotle to the time of Copernicus.
He was the first person in history to create a complete and general system, combining mathematics, physics, and cosmology.
The study of the universe is known as cosmology. It involves researching the origins, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe, including its galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial objects. Cosmologists use a combination of theoretical models and observational data to understand the structure and behavior of the universe on the largest scales.

Nicolaus Copernicus was the first astronomer to formulate a scientifically-based heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. So yes I guess you can say he was a scientist.

Astronomy is the science that studies the universe, including celestial objects such as stars, planets, galaxies, and the phenomena that occur in space. It involves observing, analyzing, and understanding the physical and chemical processes that govern the cosmos.

Tolosani claimed Copernicus made his biggest error by using "inferior" fields of study to make statements about the "superior" fields. Copernicus used Math and Astronomy to postulate about Physics and Cosmology. Others used principles of Physics and Cosmology to determine principles of Math and Astronomy. Tolosani felt Copernicus was undermining the entire system of science. He said Copernicus fell into philosophical error because he was not knowledgeable in physics and logic. To him, anyone who did not know physics and logic would be unable to make a good astronomer, and not be able to tell truth from falsehood. A simpler answer: Copernicus thought the planets moved in circular orbits. Kepler later showed they move in elliptical orbits.
Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473 - May 24, 1543) was the first astronomer to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.
