Nicolas Copernicus was believed to have been around 5 feet 10 inches tall. However, historical records are not very detailed about his exact height.
Copernicus did not have a traditional middle name like we use today. His full name was Nicolaus Copernicus or Mikolaj Kopernik in Polish.
Nicolas Copernicus studied the sun by observing its motion and position in the sky over time. He used a technique called heliocentrism, which suggested that the sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system. Copernicus' observations and mathematical calculations led to his development of the heliocentric model of the solar system.
Nicolas Copernicus was mostly known for his astrology. He was also a mathematician, a physician, a translator, an artist, a diplomat, an economist.... But he was more well known for his astrology because he discovered heliocentrism ( theory that the sun is stationary at the centre of the earth).
