Match the Scientist with the Contribution
a. Brahe
b. Hipparchus
c. Aristotle
d. Copernicus
e. Ptolemy
3. Introduced a geocentric solar system with deferents and epicycles. B
4. Explained retrograde motion as an optical illusion, revived the Heliocentric model. D
5. Collected extremely accurate data including the motions of Mars…hired Kepler. A
6. The Almagest, the equant and angular circular motion. E
7. Proposed the laws of nature that governed the heavens were different than
the laws of nature which governed the Earth. C
