How did galileo and newtons insights into physics help to make Copernicus' model more plausible?
In the end it was Kepler's model that was accepted as true. Copernicus's model with its circles and epicycles was replaced by Kepler's model with elliptical orbits that were eventually explained by the theory of gravity. The only part of Copernicus's model that has lasted is the idea that the Earth is in orbit round the Sun, which is accepted because Newton's discoveries showed that the Sun is far more massive than all the planets combined.
