Let's assume you want to go around the earth at the equator. (That is known as a great circle, just as an aside. ) So the distance around the earth at the equator is 24,901.5 miles and let's say a dollar is about 6 inches long. One mile= 63360 inches 63360 x 24901.5 = 1,577,759,040 inches to go around the equator. Now divide that by 6 and we have the number of bills. 1577759040 / 6 = 262,959,840 262,959,840 bills to go around the earth at the equator! And in these hard times, that's a lot of cash!
no people did not belive that Copernicus model was correct. he thought that the moon revolves (turns) around the earth and the people thought something else (don't know sorry)
He said the world orbited the sun, people didnt like this because they believed everything revolved around us, earth!
Contrary to most people of the 14th Century, Copernicus believed that the Earth revolved around the sun. Galileo later proved Copernicus' theory to be correct.
