In Copernicus’ day, people were worried about the idea that the celestial sphere seemed to turn around us once a day because the Earth rotates. They argued that if the Earth were to rotate so fast, it should fly apart. According to our textbook, what was one response Copernicus had to this worry?Copernicus argued that the idea that the much larger celestial sphere is turning once a day (and the Earth is not) meant that the celestial sphere would be torn apart even moreYou can’t fool me, Copernicus never thought that the Earth was rotatingCopernicus said that the Earth also orbits the Sun, and the motion around the Sun keeps the many parts of the Earth togetherCopernicus argued that God would never allow a planet with people to be exposed to that kind of dangerCopernicus said that the presence of a large Moon kept the Earth from flying apart
Copernicus argued that the idea that the much larger celestial sphere is turning once a day (and the Earth is not) meant that the celestial sphere would be torn apart even more
Copernicus argued that the idea that the much larger celestial sphere is turning once a day (and the Earth is not) meant that the celestial sphere would be torn apart even more. This was based on the belief that the celestial sphere was made up of a perfect and unchanging substance, unlike the Earth, which was considered to be made up of corruptible matter. Copernicus believed that the Earth was perfectly capable of rotating without flying apart because it was a smaller object and was made up of a different substance than the celestial sphere.
