Copernicus proposed an idea that was never believed at his time . Aristotle and the Church had taught other people about the geocentric theory, but using observations and math, his heliocentric theory shows that the planets orbit the sun and not the earth.

What accuratley described the relationship between nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo galilei?

Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei were pivotal figures in the development of heliocentric theory, but their relationship was indirect due to their different timelines. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model in the early 16th century, which laid the groundwork for later astronomers. Galileo, who lived a century later, provided critical observational evidence supporting Copernicus's ideas through his telescopic discoveries. While they did not interact personally, Galileo's work built upon and validated Copernicus's revolutionary concepts.
