Why do the longest days and nights occur?

What was Copernicus' theory of the earths position in the universe?
Copernicus believed that the Sun was at the center of the universe, not the earth. It's very conter-intuitive, but he realized that such a model would best fit the way that the planets behaved. Unfortunately, he also believed that the planets rotated around the Sun in perfect circles. Thus, his theory didn't work any better than the Earth-centric models. It was only when Kepler proposed that the planets moved in elipses around the Sun that we finally had a model that could accurately predict the motions of the planets. Copernicus laid the groundwork and Kepler (and many others) finished what he'd started.
