Question

Choose the correct answer to complete the paragraph about the acceptance of the heliocentric model.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to complete the paragraph about the acceptance of the heliocentric model is:

• orbits, Copernicus, Earth.

In the second century BCE, the Greek astronomer Ptolemy tried to explain the backward movement of the planets by  using a solar system model that included  orbits. For centuries, this was the accepted model. During the  Renaissance, Nicholas  Copernicus discovered the old heliocentric model of Aristarchus. In Aristarchus's model,  the rising and setting of the Sun was explained by the movement of the Earth.

Explanation:

For a long time it has been trying to explain the movement of the stars in space, at first Ptolemy tried to represent it with the geocentric model (which I leave as an attachment), which has some relation to previous knowledge and the idea that "the sun was hiding" referring to the fact that the sun always moved, in addition to the fact that much of this knowledge was later endorsed by the church, since the Bible mentioned that the sun was the one that moved ( such as the passage in which Josue asks God to stop the sun, making clear reference to the fact that it moved around the Earth), and after the period called obscurantism, great thinkers such as Copernicus and Newton emerged who opted for ideas such as the sun is the center (which today we know to be true).
