Question

12. The Copernican model of the universe was supported by A. Brahe and Kepler. B. Ptolemy and Brahe. C. Kepler and Einstein. D. Ptolemy and Kepler.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Brahe and Kepler

Explanation:

The Copernican model was a heliocentric model of the universe. Copernicus thought that the Sun is stationary, and the Earth and the other planets are orbiting around it. He also noted that the stars are further away from the Sun compared to the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Three very important hings in his theory are that he thought that the Earth rotates around its own axis, revolves around the Sun, and has annual tilting of its axis. At some things, Copernicus was right with his theory, at some he wasn't, but anyway he made one giant step forward in the understanding of the universe. His theory was supported by many, though mostly after his death, with one of the most noticeable supporters of him being Ticho Brache and Kepler who made model of his theory, as well as improving it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be option A- Brahe and Kepler.

Explanation:

Copernicus presented his heliocentric model of the solar system in 1543 which stated that the sun is present at the center with all planets revolving around it.

This model was supported by the works of Tycho Brahe who also said that sun is the center of the earth and Johannes Kepler who gave the laws related to the motion of the planetary objects with the sun at the center.

Thus,  option A- Brahe and Kepler is the correct answer.
