What is the contribution of nicolaus Copernicus?

Answer 1

Nicolas Copernicus was an astronomer who first gave the theory (which is now proven) that all planets revolve around the sun, which is called the heliocentric model of the solar system. The belief at the time was that the Earth was the center of the solar system/universe. We now know that Copernicus was right, but everybody in his time said he was a nutcase, and his heliocentric model didn't become popular until after Galileo and Kepler.

Answer 2

Nicolaus Copernicus is known for proposing the heliocentric model of the universe, where the sun is at the center and the planets revolve around it. This theory revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Copernicus's work helped to challenge the geocentric view of the universe that had been dominant for centuries.

Answer 3

Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473 - May 24, 1543) was the first astronomer to formulate a scientifically-based heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.

Copernicus was a Polish astronomer and mathematician who was a proponent of the view of an Earth in daily motion about its axis and in yearly motion around a stationary sun. This theory profoundly altered later workers' view of the universe, but was rejected by the Catholic church.
