The heliocentric model simply states that all the planets including Earth orbit the Sun. It goes on to say that once a day the Earth rotates around its axis of rotation.
It replaced the Geocentric model that stated that all the planets, the Sun and the stars orbit Earth.
The Heliocentric model has been proven beyond any level of doubt and is still the model we currently use.
What else can I help you with?
The greatest inaccuracy in Copernicus' model of the solar system was that the planets?
The greatest inaccuracy in Copernicus' model of the solar system was that he still believed that planets moved in perfect circles, when in fact they move in ellipses. This led to inaccuracies in predicting planetary positions.
Why is Copernicus' theory still used today?
There were two theories concerning the way the solar system was layed out. Back before Nickolas Copernicus presented his heliocentric system (the idea that the sun is in the center of the solar system and all the planets revolve around it) the accepted model was the geocentric system (the idea that the earth is in the center of the solar system and all the planets and the sun revolve around it). Galileo Galilee was a huge advocate of the heliocentric system but the church threatened to expel him if he continued to contradict the system that had existed and accepted for hundreds of years.Obviously, the Copernican system eventually gained total acceptance from the scientific community and recent technologies have been invented that have allowed us to prove that Copernicus was right. So, the answer is because it has been proven and observed by science!
What is the difference between a geocentric snd heliocentric model of the solar system?
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.
Is the Cassini Huygens still in solar system?
yes
How did Galileo prove ptolemy's theory of space wrong?
Copernicus produced his model with the Sun at the centre in 1543, and then in 1609 Kepler produced the model that we use now. Kepler's model also uses the idea of having the Sun at the centre. No-one proved anything but after Newton's discoveries in physics it was realised that Kepler's model fitted exactly with Newton's later theories in gravity and dynamics, so that's why it became accepted, and it still is.

Is mars out of the solar system?
No. It is still in the solar system.
What was believed to be the center of our solar system?
The name "solar" says it all - "solar" means SUN. IT has ALWAYS been recognized that the SUN is the center of the "solar system". Perhaps you meant to ask a different question - like "what was the belief BEFORE the recognition of the heliocentric (solar system) model?" - in which case the answer would be that the EARTH - particularly the Vatican in Rome was believed to be the center of the Universe.
Is mars still in the solar system?
Yes. It is never going to leave the solar system.
What old ideas about the universe did Copernicus still use in his system?
Nicolae Copernicus did not abandon the idea that planets went around their center point in perfect circles.
Which comets have visited our solar system?
All the comets that have been seen in history were in the solar system and most still are.
Who was the first to break the Ptolemaic Theory and stated the sun rather than the Earth was at the center of the solar system?
Polish monk Copernicus was the first to state this theory during the Scientific Revolution, however you should know that Muslims had already come to this conclusion. Whether or not Copernicus took European credit from a Muslim discovery is still undetermined.
Who invented the sun centred solar system?
Copernicus did a lot of work to produce a model of the solar system with the Sun at the centre, which Galileo used to start a damaging dispute with the Pope, because he said it was not just a model, it was the truth, thus stepping over the barrier between science and religion (and he had no proof, as he finally admitted). After Newton's time it was realised that the Sun is 330,000 times more massive than the Earth so it must be at rest in the centre, and now that is accepted as the truth.
