Explain theories of Aristotle ptolemy Copernicus and Galileo and explain how ideas progressed with each scientist?
Aristotle said the earth was in the center. Ptolemy supported Aristotle and added to it. Copernicus said the sun was in the middle. Galileo also said the sun was in the center and added to Copernicus.
Why did Copernicus keep his theory quiet and not publish them?
I think we get this wrong from simplifying history. Copernicus' theories and observations of other scientists had been common knowledge for some time. The scientists communicated with one another. Even the ancients had some clues or knowledge of the heliocentricity of our solar system. However, in 1633 some 160 years after Copernicus was born, Galileo was persecuted by the Church more for petty political reasons than for his totally old had idea about the Sun being the centre of the solar system.
