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 major features of Copernican theory are: Heavenly motions are uniform, eternal, and circular or compounded of several circles (epicycles). The center of the universe is near the Sun. Around the Sun, in order, are Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the fixed stars.
Allows calculation of planetary orbital periods around Sun. Allows geometric calculations of planetary distances from Sun. These show nice regularity: more distant planets have longer periods, move slower. Easier to calculate planetary positions than with Ptolemaic model.
I hope this helps!
A lot of people died and they wore masks during the black death
Hitler was popular among his people because not only were they looking for a scapegoat to blame for their problems, but because in their eyes he was fixing Germany’s problems and making her into a powerful nation once more. Schools should cover the Holocaust so that the children of today can learn from the mistakes of yesteryears, and prevent such from happening again in our times. We can prevent such from happening again from teaching children the mistakes that lead to the genocide of ~6 million people, like the acceptance of violence and discrimination, the political manipulation of anger, scapegoating, and the unchecked thrive if the extreme far-right. Some people could deny the Holocaust because they can’t comprehend the scale, that six million people could be slaughtered in just a few years, or that they outright refuse to accept the facts for what they are. Yes, I believe that the Nazi soldiers were rightly arrested and charged for their war crimes, even though they were “only following their orders”. They could have easily refused such roles or refuse to follow their orders, but they chose to save themselves from their own death by allowing the deaths of six million people. People such as Oskar Schindler and Major Karl Plagge show that they did not have to blindly follow their orders, that they could use their morals and conscience to see what they were doing was horrible and inhuman.
