Why was the Copernicus's discovery called the Copernican revolution?
It represented a change in scientific thought
How did Nicolaus Copernicus study the sun?
umm well he didn't he only guessed however later on a guy called Galileo Galilei heard about a telescope and actually found out that Copernicus was correct
What does Copernicus mean?
It basically means a conspicious crater on the moonAnswer:The lunar crater was named after Copernicus the astronomer. His name in turn, can be traced to a village in Silesia called Kopernik where his father came from. Families often took the name of their place of origin as their family name.
Describe the contributions of Nicolaus Copernicus?
A.1.) Published a book called On the Revolution.2.) Proved that the sun was the center of the solar system.3.)Also proved that the Earth, Sun and moon were not flat, they are shaped like round balls.B.) Extra Information about him: Studied Astronomy.1.)Died in 1543 of a stroke.2.) He was Polish (nationality)3.) Born on February 19, 1473, at Torin, Poland.For more information please visit: plato.stanford,edu/entries/Copernicus OR http://inventors.about.com/od/cstartinventors/a/Copernicus.htmThank You!
What did Copernicus do?
In the Dark Age of Science, it was believed that Earth was in the center of Solar System and all the planets including sun, revolve round the sun. This is called Geocentric Theory.Nicolas Copernicus, A Polish*Astronomer, proved that earth and other planets revolved round the sun. This is Heliocentric Theory.(Copernicus proposed the Heliocentric Theory in 1543, 64 years before the invention of telescope. I was all the work of his Mathematics.)_________________________________________________________________* Polish Astronomer is an Astronomer from Poland

The written document containing Copernicus total research is called?
Copernican treatise
Why models of the ealry ptolemy solar system were replaced by the copernican model?
The Ptolemaic Model followed a geocentric model of the solar system. This was then challenged by Nicolaus Copernicus, who claimed a heliocentric model which sparked an integral part of the Scientific Revolution called, the Copernican Revolution. Copernicus' proposal was followed by the Tychonic Model, with attempted to compromise with the geo- and heliocentric models. Then, Kepler improved by suggesting elliptical orbits. The Copernican Revolution came to a close with further speculation from Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton TL;DR Because they were wrong

What is sun centerd model of solar system?
The Sun-centered or heliocentric model of the solar system is called the Copernican model (after Copernicus) and more closely matches the modern astronomical notions. By contrast, the geocentric or Earth-centric model is often called the Ptolemaic.
Was a Polish scholar who published a heliocentric theory of the cosmos in a treatise called 'On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres?
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 -- 1543) is a famous Polish Astronomer.
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 is model of the solar system has Earth at the center?
The geocentric. The two systems were the geocentric and heliocentric, the former with the earth at the solar system's center, and the latter with the sun. Because Copernicus championed the latter, it is often called the Copernican model.
