Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. This model positioned the Sun at the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it in circular paths, modified by epicycles, and at uniform speeds.
The major features of Copernican theory are: Heavenly motions are uniform, eternal, and circular or compounded of several circles (epicycles). The center of the universe is near the Sun. Around the Sun, in order, are Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the fixed stars.
Allows calculation of planetary orbital periods around Sun. Allows geometric calculations of planetary distances from Sun. These show nice regularity: more distant planets have longer periods, move slower. Easier to calculate planetary positions than with Ptolemaic model.
I hope this helps!
The French Revolution was caused mainly due to the type of society that ruled over this government. The aristocrats and bourgeoisie enjoyed the most of the economy and they did not want the ruling of the king to be destroyed and democracy placed for elections. The monarchy played an important part of this government and the people in the provinces elected representatives to speak on their behalf. They were divided into three social levels and someone needed to rule they didn't know which one. (Clergy, nobles and the people)
False because there were priests and there were no councils elected by citizens
