How were the contributions of nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo to the scientific revolution different?
Galileo used more advanced technology to find stronger observational evidence than Copernicus was ever able to provide.
How do you find center of a circle?
Draw a pizza on it, then where ever you drew the pepperoni is the center.
How can you find the center of a circle by paper folding?
:) first measure it vertically then horizontally
Why were people before Copernicus unable to find out what he found out when people coming after him could prove his ideas were correct?
because before Copernicus there was not much technology and later on in time there was more discoveries of existence of technology. which means people were able to prove his ideas. <3 <<>> Copernicus had a theory of the way the planets move around that had some advantages over the older Ptolemaic system which had the Earth at the centre. Copernicus had the Sun at the centre, which caused problems with the church when Galileo took the theory up and promoted it as the truth. Tycho Brahe also produced a system with the Earth at the centre. Tycho's system removed some of the faults in the Ptolemaic theory, specifically the full range of Venus's phases. Finally, the theory that lasted until modern times was that of Johannes Kepler (1609). He used the new idea of elliptical orbits, and also followed Copernicus in placing the Sun at the centre. Kepler's theory was generally accepted after Newton's expanation of elliptical orbits in terms of the theory of gravity.
Does an octagon have a center point?
Yes, an Octagon does have a center point. The easiest way for me to find this is by drawing lines between opposite vertexes. You should end up with four lines and they should be crossing at one point. That is your center point! :V
Did Nicolaus Copernicus or Galileo Galilei first find out what happens with the Earth?
Nicolaus Copernicus found out what happens with the Earth's movements.
What did nicolaus Copernicus find out?
He discovered that the Earth and all of the planets revolve around the Sun.

How were the contributions of nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo galilei to the scientific to the scientific revolution different?
Copernicus created the mathematical theory to prove that the Sun, not the Earth, was the centre of our solar system. Galilei provided the calculations and observations to prove Copernicus' theory.
Which scientists described the universe and what were their theories?
Claudius Ptolemy and Nicolaus Copernicus both described the universe. Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, wrote a book that combined all knowledge of astronomy that he could find. He expanded ancient theories with careful mathematical calculations in what was called the Ptolemaic Theory. Ptolemy thought the Earth was the center of the Universe and that the sun and other planets revolved around Earth. Although this theory was incorrect as we now know, it predicted motions of the planets better than any other theory at the time did. Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, published a new theory that would eventually revolutionize astronomy. Copernicus thought the Sun was the center of the universe, and all the planets (including Earth) orbit the sun. Although Copernicus correctly thought that the planets orbit the sun, his theory did not replace Ptolemaic theory immediately. When Copernicus's theory was accepted, major changes in science and society called the Copernican revolution took place.
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.
What did Kepler and Copernicus not find out?
Why the planets stayed int their orbit.
