 LEARNING OBJECTIVES :

• STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE SOLAR SYSTEM

IS.
• STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE THE PROPERTIES OF
DIFFERENT PLANETS AND CLASSIFY THEM INTO ROCKY AND GASSY.
• STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO NAME THE PLANETS IN ORDER OF
DISTANCE FROM THE SUN.
 WHAT IS THE TIMELINE MODELS OF THE
UNIVERSE ?

• AN EPOCH IS A MOMENT IN TIME FROM WHICH

NATURE OR SITUATIONS CHANGE TO SUCH A
DEGREE THAT IT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW
ERA OR AGE.
 ARISTOTLE
( 322 BCE )
• Aristotle believed that the earth was
the centre of the universe, which in
today's scientific society is deemed
incorrect, but at his time it was
logically explained by observing the
universe from his perspective, and
lasted for two thousand years. he was
one of the first to reason that the earth
was round rather than flat. he also
believed in a geocentric model. His
model consisted of 55 concentric circles
containing all the stars and planets
orbiting around the earth
 ARISTARCHUS
( 240 BCE )
• several years later, the greek
man Aristarchus put
forward the view that the
universe was heliocentric,
meaning that the earth was
not the centre, but the sun
was. He also put forward the
notion that the sun was
larger than the earth, and
that the earth rotates on its
own axis once a day
 PTOLEMY
( 140 BCE )

• Ptolemy took Aristotle's

geocentric model and built
upon it. It was also backed by
the church , leading to its
undisputed reign for over
1400 years. his model could
also make predictions and
calculations which were fairly
accurate.
 COPERNICUS
( JAN 1, 1542 )

• Copernicus' model was a

heliocentric model. Copernicus'
attempt to resurrect the
heliocentric model was
evidently based on Aristarchus’
model, but was branded
heretical by the church and thus
slowed its acceptance.
 TYCHO BRAHE
(1601)
• Tycho Brahe was known for his precise
manner in which he studied the night sky.
Brahe's model of the universe was a
combination of both the models, with the
earth being at the centre and the planet
revolving around the sun, while it
revolved around the earth. this was the
only proof needed to disprove the
geocentric model by proving an earth
that moves by observing the slight shift in
stars, but as a result of the technology
available at that time, this phenomenon
could not be observed by Brahe.
JOHANNES KEPLER
(JAN 1, 1630 )

• By using the copernican model of the

universe, as well as all the data collected by
Brahe, Johannes produced an improved
heliocentric model of the universe. his
model stated that the planets revolved
around the sun in ellipses, not circles, and
with the sun located at any one of two foci
in those ellipse. Kepler also created
formulas that could help him calculate the
relative distances of planets
 GALILEO
( JAN 1, 1642 )

• Galileo was the first known person to

point a telescope at the night sky. with
this telescope he managed to discover
Jupiter's moons, and as they orbiting
Jupiter, and not earth, this was proof
that the ptolemaic geocentric model
was incorrect. Galileo was continue
warned by the church to cease his study
and support of the heliocentric model
 ISAAC NEWTON
( JAN 1, 1727 )
• Isaac Newton is widely considered to be the
father of physics. He established many
formulae and theory's in the field of
physics. this built the foundation of what is
the continuation of the development of the
current model of the universe, with a
heliocentric solar system and an expanding
universe. Newton also developed the law of
universal gravitation which gave the
understanding if the gravitational
attraction between two masses.
 AND THAT’S THE END OF
THE TIMELINE OF THE
MODELS OF THE UNIVERSE
