    GUIDE QUESTIONS: COPERNICAN REVOLUTION

    Name:__TONGOL, Kurt Russel T.___________ _____ Course: __BET-RT-N3A___ Date:__04/25/2022__

    INSTRUCTIONS: Read the following questions and explain your answers in NO MORE THAN THREE (3) Sentences.

    1. What is the Geocentric model of the universe? Discuss the basis of the early period/era on believing the
    Geocentric universe.
    ___The Geocentric model of the universe revolved around the idea that the Earth was the center of the solar
    system. It was believed that God put the Earth at the center because it was his supreme creation. This was due
    to the fact that during the Middle Ages, religious beliefs prevailed more rather than scientific evidence.

    2. What is the Heliocentric model of the universe? Discuss Copernicus’s ideas on the Heliocentric universe.
    ___The Heliocentric model of the universe suggested that instead of the sun and the planets revolving around
    the Earth, it was the Earth and the planets which revolved around the sun. He suggested that the wandering
    motions of the planets could be explained if they were wandering around the sun instead of the Earth.______

    3. If you discovered something scientifically and you are living in a period/era where the scientific view is
    overpowered by religion/orthodox science, will you keep it hidden? Explain your answer.
    ____No. I believe that there are some things that can’t be explained by religion while some can’t be explained
    by science. The people need to know the truth regardless if it would cause their own beliefs to shatter or
    change.

    4. What is Galileo’s findings? Why would the church try to prevent this idea from becoming popular?
    ___A lot of people thought everything went around the earth. Galileo found out that Venus is just like a moon
    when it is only crescent or half, and he also found that Jupiter had its own moon in orbit around it. The Church
    tried to prevent it because it was a sign of an intellectual rebellion against the religious teachings during the
    time and it would cause the people to start questioning religion.____________________________________

    5. Discuss how the Copernican Revolution was completed.


    Sir Isaac Newton finished the Copernican revolution. He discovered that the same force that causes an apple to
    fall also keeps the moon in its orbit around the earth. Using the derived equations of motion, he showed that
    any orbiting body will travel in an ellipse, as Kepler had observed.______________________________________

    6. Why does Copernican Revolution become controversial?


    ___The Copernican revolution became controversial because it was against what the Church was teaching
    during that time. The Church taught that the Earth was the center in which the sun and other planets revolve.
    This was due to the fact that it was believed that God had put the Earth at the center because it was His greatest
    creation.____________________________________________________________________________________

    7. How does Copernican Revolution transform the society?


    ____The Copernican Revolution started an intellectual revolution which had inspired other people to steer away
    from religious teachings and err more on the side of factual and scientific evidence. It transformed society
    because it paved the way for more discoveries which helped contribute to providing a better understanding for
    the people using scientific observations.__________________________________________________________
