The only part of Copernicus's theory that Kepler retained was the idea that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System.

How did Kepler expand on Copernicus' ideas?

Kepler showed that planetary orbits were actually ellipses, not circles as proposed by Copernicus.

What did nicolaus Copernicus ask Johannes Kepler?

Nothing. Copernicus died years before Kepler was born.


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.

How did newton's work on orbit add to the work Kepler had done?

Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.

How can you develop and support your ideas with evidence?

You can look for existing studies that support your ideas or conduct an experiment to prove your hypothesis.


How did Kepler improve on Galileo's ideas?

Kepler improved on Galileo's ideas by formulating his three laws of planetary motion, which provided a mathematical framework for understanding the orbits of planets around the sun. While Galileo focused on observational evidence and the concept of inertia, Kepler introduced the notion that planetary orbits are elliptical rather than circular. This shift not only refined the heliocentric model established by Copernicus but also laid the groundwork for Newton's law of universal gravitation. Kepler's laws emphasized that celestial bodies follow predictable paths, enhancing the scientific understanding of astronomy.

How much water does Kepler the planet have?

There is no single planet named Kepler; rather Kepler is a prefix added to the designations of planets discovered by the Kepler telescope. Several planets discovered by Kepler, including Kepler-438b, Kepler-442b, Kepler 440b, and Kepler 296f, orbit in the habitable zones of their stars, which means they might have liquid water on their surfaces. Currently we do not have the technology to determine if they actually have liquid water.
