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 Copernican model displaced the geocentric model of Ptolemy that had prevailed for centuries, which had placed Earth at the center of the Universe. Copernican heliocentrism is often regarded[by whom?] as the launching point to modern astronomy and the Scientific Revolution.
Heliocentric model from Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres)
Although he had circulated an outline of his own heliocentric theory to colleagues sometime before 1514, he did not decide to publish it until he was urged to do so late in his life by his pupil Rheticus. Copernicus's challenge was to present a practical alternative to the Ptolemaic model by more elegantly and accurately determining the length of a solar year while preserving the metaphysical implications of a mathematically ordered cosmos. Thus, his heliocentric model retained several of the Ptolemaic elements, causing inaccuracies such as the planets' circular orbits, epicycles, and uniform speeds,[1] while at the same time introducing such innovative ideas as:-
The Earth is one of several planets revolving around a stationary sun in a determined order.
The Earth has three motions: daily rotation, annual revolution, and annual tilting of its axis.
Retrograde motion of the planets is explained by the Earth's motion.
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is small compared to the distance from the Sun to the stars.
Pls give me a brainliest if this helped thx
The statements that true is C. Salt was so valuable in Ghana that it was Worth in Gold
Many said that the Ghana empire was rich by handling the trade of Salt and Gold. There are no record about option A and option B.

I believe the answer is Barbed Wire.
Befor the inventions of barbed wire, the Cattles are let to roam freely across the plains and the owners are required to pay a lot of cowboys to supervise them so they didn't go missing. Witht he invention of barbed wire, they can keep the cattle in a secure place without supervision.
Answer:
There were three types of colonies. In the first, called a <u><em>Self governing</em></u><u><em> </em></u>colony, a<em> </em><u><em>territory</em></u> was granted to a group of people. They were able to vote and could choose their own government. The second, called a <em><u>Royal</u></em> colony, was governed directly or indirectly by the <u><em>British Crown</em></u>. In the last kind (called a <u><em>Proprietary</em></u> colony), a <em><u>territory</u></em> was granted to a proprietor or individual, who was entrusted to govern the colony
Explanation:
There were three types of colonies, Self governing, royal and proprietary.
- King owned the royal colonies
- Proprietary colonies were land grants from the British government. Individuals were given huge tracts of land in return for financial and political favors. they could govern and supervise the colonies. The colonial governors were directly answerable to the king. Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland were proprietary colonies.
- Self governing colonies were formed by the charters given to joint stock colonies by the king. Such companies had their own government in the colonies that was independent of the crown. Rhode island and Connecticut were self governing colonies.
