Copernicus' contribution to astronomy was the heliocentric model, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system instead of Earth. This model revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Scientists continue to build upon Copernicus' work to further explore the universe.

Give the big contribution of Nicholas Copernicus?
heliocentric theory
What did Ptolemy and Copernicus use to try to explain the universe?
copernicus
How were the contribution of Nicolaus Copernicus and galilei to the scientific revolution different?
Galileo used more advanced technology to find stronger observational evidence than Copernicus was ever able to provide.
What scientific contribution did Copernicus Galileo and newton make to the age of reason?
Copernicus proposed the theory of a heliocentric model while Galileo improved the telescope, studied Jupiter's moons, and supported the heliocentric model
Which of these was not a contribution of Copernicus?
Which is not a contribution of Copernicus? A) The Sun lies at the center of the solar system. B) Mars will retrograde when we overtake it near opposition. C) Planetary orbits are elliptical in shape. D) Venus retrogrades when she overtakes us at inferior conjunction. E) The approximate spacing of the planet orbits away from the sun.
How far could Nickolas Copernicus' telescope see?
Copernicus did not use a telescope in his astronomical work.
How wear the contribution of Nicolas Copernicus and Galileo Galileo to the scientific revolution simile?
I am not sure they used similes. Copernicus postulated a sun-centered solar system through what today we would call reason and thought experiments. Galileo's careful observations through his telescope confirmed Copernicus's hypothesis.
