Which statement describes the controversy by Galileo's heliocentric theory?
Galileo did not propose a heliocentric theory, he agreed with Copernicus and his heliocentric theory. The Catholic church, at the time, disagreed and they held a huge amount of power and put him on trial.
How did Copernicus prove that the earth wasn't in the middle of the universe?
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
Why was Galileo get imprisoned?
He was charged with heresy by the Inquisition of Pope Urban VIII.Galileo got imprisoned because he taught the public that the Earth revolved around the sun not the other way around. He got put under house arrest for the rest of his life.
What proof did church officials have regarding Galileo's crime?
Galileo Galilei first promoted a heliocentric solar system as a physical reality in his 1610 book, The Starry Messenger . Opponents, both academic and ecclesiastical, attacked his ideas; and Galileo was less than diplomatic in his replies to their criticism. In early 1616, a group of Roman Catholic scholars debated this topic, deciding that heliocentricism should be taught only as a useful aid to calculation. Galileo agreed to do exactly that, and did so for the next sixteen years.In 1632, Galileo published Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems , which had an intelligent person defend a heliocentric system and a person named "Simplicio" defend a geocentric one. Galileo could not (and did not) deny writing this book; his name was on it. The only issue was whether the book promoted an idea that he had earlier agreed not to promote. Galileo claimed it did not, but his defense was rejected. The proof of this crime was pretty clear to anyone who read the book.
What were the similarities between Ptolemy's model and Copernicus' model?
Both Copernicus heliocentric and the Ptolemaic models agreed on the need for epicycles. These were miniature orbits that the celestial bodies travelled on as well as their normal orbits.Copernicus still invigaed the bodies orbiting in perfect circles and had to put these in to explain some of the movements of the planets. This may have contributed to his ideas being largely dismissed as it was just as complicated as the already established model. It was not until Kepler proposed elliptical orbits was this problem resolved.

Galileo agreed with the ideas of Nicolas Copernicus.Galileo agreed with the ideas of Nicolas Copernicus.Galileo promoted the heliocentric idea.Galileo was teaching the heliocentric theory of the universe as fact when it was, at the time, unproven. The Church asked him to revise his teaching to reflect that it was not a fact but only a theory or hypothesis. Most Church officials were on Galileo's side but agreed that he should tone down is rhetoric. Galileo had a very sharp tongue and was quite sarcastic in his remarks and that did little to help his case.
