Question

Explain the difference between Ptotelemy and Copernicus' idea about the solar system!​

Answer 1

Copernicus' system used only uniform circular motions, correcting what was seen by many as the chief inelegance inPtolemy's system. The Copernicanmodel replaced Ptolemy's equant circles with more epicycles. 1500 years of Ptolemy's model, help create a more accurate estimate of the planetsmotions for Copernicus.
