Contary to ptolemy what did Copernicus argue concerning the construction of the universe?

Copernicus came up with a new theory of the planets' movements among the stars in 1543. It had the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth, which was in the centre in the ancient Ptolemaic theory. Both theories used circles and epicycles to describe the planet's orbits, which they modelled quite accurately. Copernicus's theory was promoted by Galileo. The modern theory retains Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre, but it uses elliptical orbits for the planets and was devised by Kepler (1609) working with the latest observations by Tycho Brahe.


How did Nicolaus Copernicus contribute to secularism during the Renaissance?

Copernicus used mathematics to argue that the Sun is the center of the solar system, giving people a convincing alternative to the Catholic Church's Earth-centered model.


Why did people not trust in Copernicus when he said earth revolves around the sun instead they believed in Ptolemy?

People did not trust Copernicus's heliocentric model primarily because it challenged the long-standing Ptolemaic geocentric view that had been endorsed by the Church and widely accepted for centuries. The Ptolemaic system was deeply ingrained in cultural and religious beliefs, making it difficult for people to accept a radically different perspective. Additionally, Copernicus lacked sufficient observational evidence to convincingly argue for his theory at the time, leading many to remain skeptical of his claims.


Is iron and steel nonrenewable?

The simple answer to this question is: No. But, you could argue that you can technically create new steel with a particle accelerator and a lot of time. You could also argue that recycling counts as renewing. Other than those two arguments, the simple answer is no, because there is a limited supply of steel in the world.
