Actually many people did figure it out but no one had the nerve to take on the church.

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 is a list of the discoveries found by Copernicus?
Copernicus proposed an idea that was never believed at his time . Aristotle and the Church had taught other people about the geocentric theory, but using observations and math, his heliocentric theory shows that the planets orbit the sun and not the earth.
Is Copernicus is a priest?
The best information I have found is that Copernicus was a canon but never became a priest. See http://www.gap-system.org/~history/Biographies/Copernicus.html
Which shuttle found Mercury?
The earliest recorded observation of Mercury was around 1000 BC, well before the Space Shuttle. Officially, Copernicus is credited with recognizing Mercury as a Planet in 1543 AD.
Who was the first scientist to propose that the sun is the center of the solar system?
Nicolaus Copernicus, after whom the Copernical model is named, advanced the idea of the heliocentrism in the middle 16th century, which is often regarded as the starting point for modern astronomy. There were earlier thinkers whose work did not survive or was not broadly accepted, such as Aristarchus of Samos who may have been first to seriously propose the Sun was at the solar system's center around the third century BC.
Why were people before Copernicus unable to find out what he found out when people coming after him could prove his ideas were correct?
because before Copernicus there was not much technology and later on in time there was more discoveries of existence of technology. which means people were able to prove his ideas. <3 <<>> Copernicus had a theory of the way the planets move around that had some advantages over the older Ptolemaic system which had the Earth at the centre. Copernicus had the Sun at the centre, which caused problems with the church when Galileo took the theory up and promoted it as the truth. Tycho Brahe also produced a system with the Earth at the centre. Tycho's system removed some of the faults in the Ptolemaic theory, specifically the full range of Venus's phases. Finally, the theory that lasted until modern times was that of Johannes Kepler (1609). He used the new idea of elliptical orbits, and also followed Copernicus in placing the Sun at the centre. Kepler's theory was generally accepted after Newton's expanation of elliptical orbits in terms of the theory of gravity.
Who found out that the sun was the center of the universe?
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 did Kepler and Copernicus find out and what evidence did they give?
Kepler and Copernicus found solar system and said that earth revolves around the sun.
Why did people think that Copernicus was wrong?
Everyone thought that the sun orbits the Earth and all other planets but Copernicus studied the ski carefully. He found out that the Earth and all other Planets orbits the sun and the earth is not the centre of the universe. The sun is.
