 Explain the scientific contributions of (a) Nicolaus

Copernicus, (b) Johannes Kepler, (c) Galileo, and (d) Sir

Isaac Newton AND how each of these individuals' ideas
changed the European world view. (SSWH13a)
Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer who proposed an earth-centred system, of the
planets orbit around the Sun that Earth is a planet which except the sun annually turns once
daily on its own axis and that very minor changes in the direction of this axis account. Nicolaus
Copernicus known as the father of modern astronomy was the very first modern European
scientist to propose that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun.
Johannes Kepler was an inspirational astronomer of the Scientific Revolution known for put
together the Laws of Planetary Motion. An astronomer, of course, is a person who studies the
Sun, stars, planets and other aspects of space but he stands out because he discovered three
major laws of planetary motion. Johannes Kepler discovered the line between a planet and
the Sun covers equal areas in equal times which makes everything aligned.
Galileo was a mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and who made primary contributions to
the sciences of astronomy, motion, and strength of materials. Galileo also discovered the
development of the scientific method. The genius made history with telescopic discoveries as
well, including the four largest moons of Jupiter.
 Isaac Newton is known for inventing calculus itself, and provided a simple way of
understanding optics. Isaac Newton’s most significant work was about forces, and the
development of a universal law of gravity. Newton made the three laws of motion that make the
basic principles of physics of modern day.  His discovery of calculus paved the way to more
efficient methods of solving mathematical problems to this day.
