How did data gathered using Galileo's early telescope support the heliocentric model?

Galileo's discoveries showed faults with the old Ptolemaic theory, which had the Sun at the centre. So he was right to publicise these but not to proclaim that the heliocentric theory of Copernicus was correct.
Tycho produced a geocentric theory that explained the phenomena discovered by Galileo, which were (mainly) the full range of phases dislplayed by Venus.
Eventually Johannes Kepler brought out a new heliocentric theory with novel elliptical orbits for the planets. It was later backed up by Newton's theoretical discoveries and by later measurements, and it is the model used and accepted today.

How did data gathered using Galileo's telescope support the heliocentric model?
By looking into space with the telescope.
What invention provided evidence to support the heliocentric view?
The telescope
How did galileos improved telescope allow him to support the heliocentric theory?
Galileo Galilei made the telescope by putting two lenses in to a wooden tube. the lenses focused the light coming through the tube, making the distant ojects seem closer.
How did data gathered using Galileo's early telescope support the helioentric model?
None of it but Galileo's discoveries with the telescope were very important in raising questions about the old Ptolemaic theory, which was geocentric. However Galileo's discovery of Venus's phases was not a proof of the heliocentric principle because Tycho produced a geocentric model that explained Venus's phases.
What instrument did Galileo develop which help find evidence to support the heliocentric theory?
Galileo played the lute.

Galileo

How did Galileo observations support the idea of the heliocentric system?
Galileo's observations with his telescope supported the concept of heliocentricism. He noted that the satellites of Jupiter and Venus, based on their range of phases, did not match geocentricism supported by Ptolemy. He noted that based on these findings, that the Heliocentric theory was correct.
The scientist who first used a telescope to make discoveries that supported the heliocentric model was?
Galileo Galilei . He only helped support the theory through his observations , he didn't invent the model, Copernicus did.
What happen in Jamestown in 1620?
Jamestown colonists founded the first plantations in a bid to make the colony more financially viable. Pocahantas (the real one) was also kidnapped by the English.
Which is the best telescope to purchase?
If you have the money and the diplomatic support, you should by the Hubble Space Telescope.
How did these discoveries help support the heliocentric theroy?
You need to say which theories you are asking about.
What model did Copernicus support?
He thought of and supported the heliocentric model, which states the "heavens" revolve around the Sun.
What instrument did Galileo develop which help find evidence to support the heliocentric theory?
Galileo played the lute.
