Frage 3
Frage
[blank_start]Eratosthenes[blank_end] was the first to measure the [blank_start]circumference[blank_end] of the Earth which helped to prove the Earth wasn't flat. Copernicus developed the heliocentric system and believed in [blank_start]perfect circle[blank_end] revolutions of the planets. Ptolemy's discoveries include developing the Ptolemaic universe model which was [blank_start]earth-centered[blank_end], [blank_start]epicycles[blank_end], and cataloging 1028 stars positions. [blank_start]Brahe[blank_end] is responsible for [blank_start]Tycho[blank_end]'s quadrant which is [blank_start]1/4[blank_end] of [blank_start]an arch[blank_end], used to measure positions, precision of the angular observant, and [blank_start]one[blank_end] second of [blank_start]an arc[blank_end]. The [blank_start]ellips[blank_end] orbit was discovered/hypothesized about by [blank_start]Kepler[blank_end]. Galileo discovered [blank_start]sunspots[blank_end], mountains and valleys on [blank_start]the moon,[blank_end] the [blank_start]four[blank_end] moons of [blank_start]Jupiter[blank_end], phases of [blank_start]venus[blank_end], and used the first telescope as a scientific instrument. Kepler is also responsible for [blank_start]3 laws[blank_end]. The first is that planets have elliptical orbits. The second is that when a planet is [blank_start]closer[blank_end] to the sun it moves [blank_start]faster[blank_end] than when it is [blank_start]further away[blank_end], and the [blank_start]third[blank_end] is that you can measure the [blank_start]orbit[blank_end] period of a planet that orbits around the sun and convert it to [blank_start]Earth years[blank_end] and then [blank_start]square[blank_end] it and the [blank_start]cubed root[blank_end] will be it's [blank_start]AU[blank_end] from the sun.

Frage 8
Frage
Retrograde motion as explained by the [blank_start]Ptolemaic[blank_end] system is where the planets orbited around the [blank_start]Earth[blank_end] but also [blank_start]orbited around[blank_end] a fixed point within a smaller [blank_start]orbit[blank_end] similar to how the [blank_start]moon orbits Earth[blank_end] and [blank_start]Earth orbits the sun[blank_end]. The [blank_start]Copernican[blank_end] system explains retrograde motion by claiming the [blank_start]planets[blank_end] orbited around [blank_start]the sun[blank_end] in [blank_start]perfect circles[blank_end].
