How did Galileo's observations of Jupiter's moons support Copernicus theory?

The discovery did not support Copernicus's theory directly but it raised doubts about the ancient theory of Ptolemy that said that all objects in the sky are in orbit round the Earth.
Galileo was an aggressive supporter of Copernicus's theory but eventually it was Kepler's theory that became accepted and is still used today. Both Copernicus and Kepler placed the Sun at the centre but Kepler's elliptical orbits are supported by the later theory of dynamics.

What model did Copernicus support?
He thought of and supported the heliocentric model, which states the "heavens" revolve around the Sun.
How did keplers work improve on or support Copernicus heliocentric theory?
Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
How did Copernicus use the idea of bodies tending toward different centers to support his theory?
The ideaitself tend toward the "heaviest" center was basis of the geocentric system. Copernicus argued that movement was basis of that system is only perceived, not real and used examples to predict the movement of planets to support his own theory
How did Galileo observations support the idea of the heliocentric system?
Galileo's observations with his telescope supported the concept of heliocentricism. He noted that the satellites of Jupiter and Venus, based on their range of phases, did not match geocentricism supported by Ptolemy. He noted that based on these findings, that the Heliocentric theory was correct.
Was Nicolaus Copernicus educated?
Yes. He had a very high level of education, through the support of his uncle. He studied in several universities in several countries, and did subjects like law, Greek Language and mathematical science.
What anomalies did Galileos first astronomic observations reveal?
Galileo's first astronomical observations revealed several anomalies. He observed that Jupiter had four moons orbiting around it, which challenged the prevailing belief that everything in space revolved around the Earth. He also observed that Venus went through phases similar to the Moon, suggesting that it orbited around the Sun and not the Earth. These observations provided evidence to support the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.
The scientist who first used a telescope to make discoveries that supported the heliocentric model was?
Galileo Galilei . He only helped support the theory through his observations , he didn't invent the model, Copernicus did.
What kind of details and evidence does dix use to support her argument ?
Her own observations and the observations of others
Who was the first to use the telescope to observe Jupiters moon to support the heliocentric model of the solar system?
Galileo
