Topic: Models of the Universe Key Terms: Geocentric Theory Heliocentric Theory

Geocentric Theory Ancient Greece

Geocentric Model ___

Motion of the other planets Mars Retrograde Motion

Geocentric Model: Ptolemy ( AD) Used epicycles to explain planetary movements

Retrograde Motion

Ptolemy’s system provided the first framework for all discussion of the universe for nearly 1500 years!! But… there was a problem…

Problems with Geocentric Theory 1.This model does explain apparent motions of celestial (space) objects 2.Cannot explain Foucault’s Pendulum or the Coriolis Effect

Heliocentric Theory

Heliocentric Model ___

Copernicus ( ) Suggests a model that the Sun was the center of the universe. Argued that the motion of the Sun & planets could be equally described by a Sun centered (heliocentric) system.

Earth 1 Sun Outer Planet Fixed Stars Planet's apparent path around sky. Earth overtakes slow outer planet so the outer planet appears to slow down, move in reverse, and then move forward again with respect to the fixed stars. Retrograde Motion 10

Tycho Brahe ( ): the greatest of the pre-telescope observers in Europe. 20+ years measuring the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets with great accuracy.

Johannes Kepler (1609) Johannes Kepler was an assistant to Tycho Brahe. He used Brahe’s observations to study the orbit of Mars Discovered three laws of planetary motion: predict with accuracy the motions of the planets

Galileo ( ) first scientist to use a telescope to observe the sky. He observed the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. Both observations supported the heliocentric model.

Modern Universe Is the Sun the center of the Universe?

Final Question

The Great Debate Pick a side and argue the concept of heliocentric versus geocentric theory! Based on the findings presented what is the best definition of a theory? What are some theories that could possibly be changed or altered through the knowledge of more information.
