What coperniesn ideas did Kepler prove?
The only part of Copernicus's theory that Kepler retained was the idea that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System.
What did nicolaus Copernicus ask Johannes Kepler?
Nothing. Copernicus died years before Kepler was born.
He proved the theories of Copernicus?
Johannes Kepler
How did Johannes Kepler's theory differ from Copernicus?
Kepler formulated laws of planetary motion, while Copernicus merely(!) proposed that the sun was the center of the solar system rather than the earth.
What were Galileo Copernicus and Kepler all concerned with?
studying astronomy and physics
What coperniesn ideas did Kepler prove?

How did Kepler disagree with Copernicus?
Kepler believed in different descriptions of Planetary Orbit then Copernicus. penis

Who wrote new astronomy of celestial physics?
Claudius Ptolemy wrote the first book of astronomy
What did Kepler and Copernicus find out and what evidence did they give?
Kepler and Copernicus found solar system and said that earth revolves around the sun.
He proved the theories of Copernicus?
Johannes Kepler
How did Kepler's work improve on or support Copernicus' heliocentric?
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.
Why might Copernicus be consider as father of astronomy?
Because he was the first astronomer in modern times to devise a new model of the planets' orbits with the Sun at the centre. Copernicus's model of 1543 was rejected after Kepler's theory of 1609 was supported by later theories of dynamics, but Kepler retained the heliocentric principle and Copernicus's work was an important stage in the process of development of ideas.

How was nicholas Copernicus research proven by Johannes Kepler?
Kepler's theory eventually replaced Copernicus's theory after Tycho Brahe's measurements enabled Kepler to realise that the planets move in elliptical orbits and not in the circles and epicycles of the older Ptolemaic and Copernican models. Copernicus was able to simplify the older model by placing the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth. Kepler in his new theory of 1609 retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
What did Kepler and Copernicus not find out?
Why the planets stayed int their orbit.
