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.

What model did Copernicus support?
He thought of and supported the heliocentric model, which states the "heavens" revolve around the Sun.
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.
How did galileo's observation support the heliocentric system?
Venus goes through phases similar to those of Earth's moon.#1Direction
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.
How did Kepler's work improve on or support Copernicus' heliocentric?

What is the name of the sun-centered model of the solar system?
heliocentric
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.
Who realized planets orbit the sun?
Galileo used the telescope to support the heliocentric model (Planets orbit the sun)Nicolaus Copernicus worked out the arrangements of planets and how the move around the sun (heliocentric).Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler researched the planets' orbit and found that the orbit of each planet is an ellipse (Oval shape).
What evidence did Galileo have to his theory?
Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.
What invention provided evidence to support the heliocentric view?
The telescope
How did these discoveries help support the heliocentric theroy?
You need to say which theories you are asking about.
Why did catholic church leaders oppose Galileo's sun centered model of the universe?
The Bible is written from an implicitly geocentric viewpoint, so if we take the Bible as the ultimate authority on everything, then it would be wrong to come to other conclusions such as the heliocentric theory, merely by observing the way the universe actually is. Incidentally, although Galileo did support the heliocentric theory, it was originally proposed by Copernicus. It isn't Galileo's model. Galileo did contribute to this theory with his astronomical observations, however.
How did data gathered using Galileo's telescope support the heliocentric model?
By looking into space with the telescope.
What was gaileo's mechanistic concept of the universe?
Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.AddendumHeliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System as opposed to geocentrism, the Church supported theory which put the Earth at the center of the Solar System. Gravitation(improved)Galileo also added the study of Gravitation of twenty objects. One set of ten were the very light things and the other ten were the heavy pair. The people thought that the heavy pair would fall first but instead they fell at the same time!!! So this is the proof or that the gravity is even.
