Question

question 1 - 8
which term describes the theory of the solar system supported by both copernicus and galileo?
giocentric
heliocentric
hypersonic
evolutionary

Explanation:

• Geocentric: This theory places the Earth at the center of the solar system. It was the dominant view before Copernicus and Galileo.
• Heliocentric: Copernicus proposed that the Sun is at the center of the solar system, and Galileo provided evidence (such as his observations of Jupiter's moons) to support this view.
• Hypersonic: This term relates to very high - speed movement (faster than the speed of sound by a significant margin) and has no relation to solar system theories.
• Evolutionary: While the solar system has an evolutionary history, this term is too general and not specific to the model supported by Copernicus and Galileo.

Answer:

B. heliocentric
