How did Galileo prove the heliocentric theory?

History
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish scientist living about a century before Galileo, had already come up with the unorthodox idea that the Sun was at the center of the solar system. Galileo knew about and had accepted Copernicus's heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory.

Explanation:It was Galileo's observations of Venus that proved the theory. Using his telescope, Galileo found that Venus went through phases, just like our Moon. But, the nature of these phases could only be explained by Venus going around the Sun, not the Earth. Galileo concluded that Venus must travel around the Sun, passing at times behind and beyond it, rather than revolving directly around the Earth.

Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus virtually proved that the Earth was not the center of the universe. It was this assertion which most angered the Church leaders of the time.

What was on specific rule put in place by the east India company that angered and offended sepoys?
morpeh [17]
The East India Company forced Sepoys to use new ammunition that went against their religious beliefs, hence causing the Sepoy Rebellion.

It all started when the British East India Company implemented the use of new bullets that must be coated with a mixture of pork and beef fat. This upset many Sepoy's, as several of them were Hindus and this went against their beliefs. Hindus belief that the cow is a sacred animal and are prohibited from touching or killing cows and eating beef.

Along with this, many Sepoys were also Muslim. In this religion of Islam, the pig is considered an unclean animal. This upset with the new policies caused a revolt of these Sepoys against the British East India Company.
