Did Copernicus believe in a heliocentric model?
Copernicus published an alternative model of the planets' movement in 1543 that had the Sun at the centre. It was the first heliocentric model. It used orbits based on combinations of circles, as the ancient Ptolemaic system had done, which was geocentric. In Copernicus's model the paths followed by the planets were less complicated, but other than that Copernicus had no way of proving if it was right or not at that time, so it isn't known whether he believed in it.
What did the Copernicus universe suggest?
