He proved the theories of Copernicus?
Johannes Kepler
How did nicolaus Copernicus find out that the eartth was in the center?
Nicolaus Copernicus discovered that the earth WAS NOT the center of the universe using math and science to form his theories.
Who used mathematics to prove the theories of Copernicus?
In physics, theories are not mathematically proved but instead they are compared with physical observations to see if they are correct. Copernicus's theory was not just an idea that the Sun is at the centre, but also a detailed mathematical system of circle and epicycles that provided a model of the planets' orbits. At the time of Copernicus and for a time afterwards, his theory was used to predict the planets' positions, and when the predictions were found to be 'correct', the theory was considered 'proved' . But later Tycho Brahe developed more accurate measurement techniques, and using those he discovered small errors in the predicted positions of the planets. That led to Kepler's work and the discovery of elliptical orbits.
When did Copernicus discover heliocentrism?
From about 1510-1514 Copernicus developed his first general outline of his new heliocentric system.
How many times did the Earth orbit the Sun between 140 Ce when Ptolemy introduced his theories and 1543 when Copernicus introduced his theories?
1403

What was the name of the Italian astronomer who proved the theories of Copernicus?
Galileo Galilei was the Italian astronomer who supported Copernicus's theories by using his own observations through a telescope to provide evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system.
