Question

why was copernicuss heliocentric model not believed until galileo and kepler provided more evidence? the model had the moon orbiting earth. the model was against religious teachings. the model could not explain retrograde motion. the model did not include all eight planets in the solar system.

Explanation:

Copernicus's heliocentric model placed the Sun at the center of the solar - system, which went against the geocentric view supported by religious teachings at the time. This led to resistance and disbelief until more evidence was provided. The moon orbiting Earth was not the main reason for disbelief. The model could explain retrograde motion, and the discovery of all eight planets came later and wasn't the main factor in the initial disbelief.

Answer:

The model was against religious teachings.
