USPshnik [31]

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

1) Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance-era polymath whose theory of the universe placed the Sun rather than Earth at the center of the universe, in all likelihood independently of Aristarchus.

2) Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who put forth the theory that the Sun is at rest near the center of the Universe, and that the Earth, spinning on its axis once daily, revolves annually around the Sun. This is called the heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system.

3) Many believe the heliocentric theory was immediately rejected by the Catholic Church.

How do the decisions you make as a consumer affect the economy
Gekata [30.6K]
A consumer is someone who purchased goods or services. So if people stop buying that certain good or service. Then the economy can go down because there won't be as much money coming in as there was. And then if people buy more of a certain good or service then the economy will go up because they'll be receiving more money.
I hope this helps.
