Question

while kepler supported the copernican model of the universe, kepler concluded the following:

a) all other bodies in the universe move around the moon in triangular paths.

b) the circular orbits of the copernican model werent correct. paths of the planets were elliptical.

c) the circular orbits of the copernican model werent correct. paths of the planets were rectangular.

d) all other bodies in the universe move around the earth in circular paths.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Kepler's laws of planetary motion corrected the Copernican model. Copernicus proposed circular orbits, but Kepler discovered planets move in elliptical orbits. Option A is incorrect (no triangular paths around the moon). Option C is incorrect (planets don't move in rectangular paths). Option D is the geocentric model, which Kepler didn't support. Only Option B matches Kepler's conclusion.

Answer:

B) The circular orbits of the Copernican model weren't correct. Paths of the planets were elliptical.
