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.
What else can I help you with?
How did keplers work improve on or support Copernicus heliocentric theory?
Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
What is the evidence of Keplers theory?
because kepler was smart
What were johanne keplers hobbies?
his hobbies are probably acting, and eating
Why was Keplers model of the solar system good at the time?
because i say so!
What was Johannes Keplers major contribution?
Known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion.
What is the main difference between keplers system and the Copernicus system?
Copernicus's system used circles and epicycles, just like the ancient Ptolemaic system, with the difference that by placing the Sun at the centre Copernicus could simplify the complicated paths taken by the planets through space. Kepler had the advantage of new accurate observations made by Tycho Brahe at the end of the 16th century, and these enabled Kepler to realise that by using elliptical orbits for the planets, the modelled positions could be fitted more closely with the measured positions. Kepler retained the idea of having the Sun at the centre and it is the model used today with slight modifications from Einstein's theory of relativity.

What was keplers mother accused of being?

Who was the scientist who showed that gravity accounts for keplers laws of planetary motion?
Isaac Newton
What is a word that is related to keplers three laws and starts with the letter m?
Mindboggling? They are "Laws of Planetary Motion". So I guess the answer is "motion".
What are all of the planet's orbit from the sun?
According to Keplers first law of 1618 which has not been repealed yet, the planets each move in an elliptical orbit with the Sun occupying one focus. The shape of an ellipse is described by the eccentricity. For low eccentricity such as the planets' orbits have, the orbit is very close to being a circle but the most significant difference is that the Sun is off-centre.
