Question

why was copernicuss heliocentric model not believed until galileo and kepler provided more evidence?
the model had the moon orbiting earth.
the model was against religious teachings.
the model could not explain retrograde motion.
the model did not include all eight planets in the solar system.

Explanation:

Copernicus's heliocentric model placed the Sun at the center of the solar system, which directly conflicted with the geocentric view that was deeply tied to dominant religious teachings of the time. The other options are incorrect: his model did have the moon orbiting Earth, he could explain retrograde motion with orbital speed differences, and the limited knowledge of planets at the time was not the barrier to acceptance.

Answer:

B. The model was against religious teachings.
