no people did not belive that Copernicus model was correct. he thought that the moon revolves (turns) around the earth and the people thought something else (don't know sorry)
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.
Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
Copernicus used perfect circles for the orbits of the planets.
It goes against the ideas of the church
He thought of and supported the heliocentric model, which states the "heavens" revolve around the Sun.
we have sent people to moon

He is worth knowing about because he revived the Heliocentric modelSome say that he reveled the Heliocentric model but he didn'tBut he was the first person to try to push people to to believe in the Heliocentric model
Ptolemy The correct answer is Copernicus. I just took the test.
No, that was what the scriptures said, but Copernicus's model, also promoted by Galileo, had the Sun at the centre instead.
Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, with the Sun at the center and the planets orbiting around it, while Ptolemy's model placed the Earth at the center. By providing a simpler explanation for planetary motion and accurately predicting the positions of celestial bodies, Copernicus's model challenged the complexity of Ptolemy's geocentric theory and gained acceptance over time.
The heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model. Copernicus suggested that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was at the center of the solar system.
Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus.
Copernicus was one of the people that proposed the idea of a heliocentric model of the solar system. Prior to Copernicus most people believed in the geocentric model in which all things revolved around the Earth. He published his ideas in the book De revolutionibus orbium coelestiu (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).
The heliocentric model.
COPERNICUS!!
