Who was put in jail because he told people Copernicus model was correct?

It was not about modelling, it was about reality. Galileo was put in jail for heresy after he continued to say publicly that the Copernican model was the absolute truth, after he had been told by the church that he could use it and teach it only as a model to represent the planets.
The model that is now accepted by everyone including the church is the one discovered by Kepler in 1609, which Galileo did not accept at the time because it uses elliptical orbits instead of the perfect circles of the Copernican theory.

Polish astronomer who proposed a different model of the solar system?
copernicus :) =))))
Why is Copernicus' model much simpler than Ptolemy's?
The mechanical model (gears and the like) of Copernicus is much easier to make than Ptolemy's.
Why did the existence of stellar parallax not convince people in Copernicus time that his model was better than Ptolemys geopcentric model?
Stellar parallax could not be observed until hundreds of years after Copernicus: the effect is very small. Rejection of the Copernican system was not irrational.
How did galileo and newtons insights into physics help to make Copernicus' model more plausible?
In the end it was Kepler's model that was accepted as true. Copernicus's model with its circles and epicycles was replaced by Kepler's model with elliptical orbits that were eventually explained by the theory of gravity. The only part of Copernicus's model that has lasted is the idea that the Earth is in orbit round the Sun, which is accepted because Newton's discoveries showed that the Sun is far more massive than all the planets combined.
How did Nicolaus Copernicus contribute to secularism during the Renaissance?
Copernicus used mathematics to argue that the Sun is the center of the solar system, giving people a convincing alternative to the Catholic Church's Earth-centered model.
Why did people believe Copernicus model was correct?
no people did not belive that Copernicus model was correct. he thought that the moon revolves (turns) around the earth and the people thought something else (don't know sorry)
Why Aristotle believe in geocentric?
because he thought that if more people believe in the geocentric model then his theory would but correct. because he thought that if more people believe in the geocentric model then his theory would but correct.
What model of the universe that suggests that the sun is the center of the universe was first brought by?
Ptolemy The correct answer is Copernicus. I just took the test.
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.
Why Is Nicolas Copernicus Worth Knowing About?
He is worth knowing about because he revived the Heliocentric modelSome say that he reveled the Heliocentric model but he didn'tBut he was the first person to try to push people to to believe in the Heliocentric model
Who made the helocentric model?
Copernicus
Who created a model of the solar system with planets orbiting the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus.
Polish astronomer who proposed a different model of the solar system?

What belief did nicholas Copernicus have that revolutionized other peoples way of thinking?
Copernicus was one of the people that proposed the idea of a heliocentric model of the solar system. Prior to Copernicus most people believed in the geocentric model in which all things revolved around the Earth. He published his ideas in the book De revolutionibus orbium coelestiu (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).
Why is Copernicus' model much simpler than Ptolemy's?
The mechanical model (gears and the like) of Copernicus is much easier to make than Ptolemy's.
What was the sun centered model created by Copernicus called?
The heliocentric model.
Who came up with the planetary model?
COPERNICUS!!
