nobody really knows the exact year. it's after when he went to college, which is 1506, so it's probably in the early 1500's
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system and that the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun in circular orbits. This heliocentric model challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
Ptolemy proposed a geocentric model, with Earth at the center and planets orbiting it. Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center of the solar system. Galileo's telescopic observations supported the heliocentric model and provided evidence for Copernicus' theory.
Nicolaus Copernicus published his theory that the sun is a motionless body at the center of the solar system on his deathbed in 1543. This theory is known as the heliocentric model, which places the sun at the center of the solar system with the planets orbiting around it.
Yes, Copernicus' heliocentric model of the solar system, with the Sun at the center, provided more accurate predictions of planetary movements compared to Ptolemy's geocentric model, which had the Earth at the center. This was due to the simplicity and elegance of Copernicus' model, leading to a better understanding of the true nature of the solar system.
They both belived that the Sun was in the center of the solar system.
He looked through his telescope!
the sun is the center of the solar system.

Nicholas Copernicus
He thought that the sun was the center
Sun is center of solar system!
He followed Copernicus's model of the solar system which places the Sun at the center of the solar system instead of the Earth.
Ptolemy thought the earth was the center of the solar system (Otherwise known as the Geocentric theory) and Copernicus's idea was that the sun was at the center of the solar system (Heliocentric theroy).

Nicolaus Copernicus
In the early 16th Century, Nicolaus Copernicus theorised that the Sun was in fact the centre of our solar system - not the Earth, as was previously thought. The Greek Aristarchus of Samos, 1,800 years before Copernicus, was the true founder of heliocentrism.
