Did Nicolaus Copernicus or Galileo Galilei first find out what happens with the Earth?
Nicolaus Copernicus found out what happens with the Earth's movements.
Contary to ptolemy what did Copernicus argue concerning the construction of the universe?
Copernicus came up with a new theory of the planets' movements among the stars in 1543. It had the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth, which was in the centre in the ancient Ptolemaic theory. Both theories used circles and epicycles to describe the planet's orbits, which they modelled quite accurately. Copernicus's theory was promoted by Galileo. The modern theory retains Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre, but it uses elliptical orbits for the planets and was devised by Kepler (1609) working with the latest observations by Tycho Brahe.
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 He used the idea that the Sun is at the centre, plus a whole lot more detail that has now been superseded.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.
What modern movements led to new ways of studying and thinking about the natural world?
The scientific revolution
What are two discoveries Galilee made by using his telescopes?
He spoted the rings of Saturn and made observations upon planet movements along with the phases of the moon and surface of the moon
Who discovered the law that govern the movements of the heavenly bodies?
Copernicus
Did Nicolaus Copernicus or Galileo Galilei first find out what happens with the Earth?
Nicolaus Copernicus found out what happens with the Earth's movements.
What was nicolaus Copernicus field of study?
Astronomy, the study of the stars and planets and their movements.
The scientist who included three laws about the movements of the planets as part of his theory of the universe was?
Johannes Kepler was the scientist who included three laws of planetary motion as part of his heliocentric theory of the universe. These laws, known as Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.

How did early astrologers contribute to the development of astronomy?
The astrologers mapped the stars and made observations of their movements. This aided astronomers because it gave them a framework to make further observations. The constellations developed by astrologers are still used today, even in scientific papers.In the related source link below, you can find a fuller history of astrology.
How were the causes of the enlightenment similar to the casues of the industrial revolution?
Both movements were caused in part by the scientific revolution.
