The heliocentric model was generally rejected by the ancient philosophers for three main reasons:
1) If the Earth is rotating about its axis, and orbiting around the Sun, then the Earth must be in motion. However, we cannot ``feel'' this motion. Nor does this motion give rise to any obvious observational consequences. Hence, the Earth must be stationary.

2) If the Earth is executing a circular orbit around the Sun then the positions of the stars should be slightly different when the Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun. This effect is known as parallax. Since no stellar parallax is observable (at least, with the naked eye), the Earth must be stationary. In order to appreciate the force of this argument, it is important to realize that ancient astronomers did not suppose the stars to be significantly further away from the Earth than the planets. The celestial sphere was assumed to lie just beyond the orbit of Saturn.

3)The geocentric model is far more philosophically attractive than the heliocentric model, since in the former model the Earth occupies a privileged position in the Universe.

It won't let me load in the 5th one for proof for 12. So here are the rest.
Answer:
The noise was reduced by 5.7884 decibels
Explanation:
Using the percentage-decibel table, the 95% decibel level y obtained by interpolation
Percentage Decibel
75 4.86
95 y
100 6.0205
95-75/100-75 = y-4.86/6.0205-4.86
0.8 = y-4.86/1.1605
y-4.86 = 0.8×1.1605
y - 4.86 = 0.9284
y = 4.86+0.9284 = 5.7884 decibels
Answer:just thinking about them makes me hungary.
Explanation:
I believe the answer is: Brian Epstein
Brian Epstein was the first one who discovered the Beatles during their lunchtime performance at The Cavern Club. At that time, almost all label company in England refused to sign the Beatles. So epstein insisted on the professional look in order to make them look more presentable for the management and upper class audience.
