What did Nicolaus Copernicus think your solar system was?

What did ptolemy and Copernicus and Galileo found out about the solar system?
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.
Who on his deathbed in 1543 published his theory that the sun is a motionless body at the centre of the solar system?
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.
Copernicus' model of the solar system gave much better predictions than the model of Ptolemy?
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.
