yr8_Copernicus

=Copernicus=



I contributed to the renaissance in the following ways:
In the renaissance I said that the earth was not stationary and that it was not in the center of the universe. I thought that the sun was at the center of the planets. My theory was that the sun was in the center of the planets and then came Mercury, Venus, Earth (which the moon was orbiting), Mars, Jupiter and finally Saturn.

These contributions were particulary important because:
My contributions were against the church because the Holy Scripture said that the earth was at the center of the entire universe so the chruch might be wrong about other things which helped people challenge the church more and withithout me Galileo wouldnt have made his discoveries about astrology.
