yes they are very related
Galileo did not have his own theory. He was a supporter of Copernicus's heliocentric theory and an opponent of the geocentric Ptolemaic theory. Eventually both theories were rejected in favour of Kepler's theory. But Kepler's theory uses the heliocentric idea from Copernicus's theory.
Isaac Newton is the great mathematician and physicist who brought together the theories and discoveries of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo under his theory of motion, known as the laws of motion and universal gravitation. His work laid the foundation for classical mechanics and revolutionized our understanding of the physical world.
Isaac Newton.
Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton fundamentally transformed humanity's understanding of the universe. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model, placing the Sun at the center of the solar system, which challenged the long-held geocentric view. Galileo's observations with the telescope provided evidence for Copernicus's theory and revealed celestial phenomena, while Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation offered a mathematical framework that explained both terrestrial and cosmic movements. Together, their contributions shifted the perspective from an Earth-centered universe to one governed by physical laws, laying the groundwork for modern science.
Actually, no one challenged his theory. In fact the next real astronomer, to even come back to his theory was Galileo, who came around fifty years later. There were absolutely no challenges to his theory, but between the fifty years of Copernicus's death, and Galileo proving Copernicus right, his theory was shunned, and the church passed a law that saying his name was illegal.

No Nicolaus Copernicus created it (although the planet's orbits were perfect circles in his model). Isaac Newton expanded on it. After Copernicus, Johannes Kepler stated that the orbits were elliptical. Isaac Newton came up with the theory of universal gravitation.

Copernicus was in 1543, a polish astronomer named Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus's theory - The sun is at the center of the Universe. Galileo Galilei was in 1609, Galileo became the first person to use a telescope to observe celestial bodies.
The discovery did not support Copernicus's theory directly but it raised doubts about the ancient theory of Ptolemy that said that all objects in the sky are in orbit round the Earth. Galileo was an aggressive supporter of Copernicus's theory but eventually it was Kepler's theory that became accepted and is still used today. Both Copernicus and Kepler placed the Sun at the centre but Kepler's elliptical orbits are supported by the later theory of dynamics.
Contrary to most people of the 14th Century, Copernicus believed that the Earth revolved around the sun. Galileo later proved Copernicus' theory to be correct.
