Question

why did galileos telescope observations support copernicuss theories? * 5 points

he observed moons orbiting jupiter, showing earth wasnt the center of everything

he saw that all planets were flat

he proved the sun was smaller than earth

he discovered that stars dont exist

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Copernicus's theories proposed a heliocentric model (Sun - centered). Galileo's observation of moons orbiting Jupiter showed that not all celestial bodies orbit Earth, which was a key point against the geocentric (Earth - centered) view and in support of the idea that Earth wasn't the center of everything, aligning with Copernicus's heliocentric concept. Planets are not flat (contradicts scientific fact), the Sun is larger than Earth, and stars do exist.

Answer:

He observed moons orbiting Jupiter, showing Earth wasn't the center of everything.
