.All are made of individual particles of rock or ice that orbit in accord with Kepler's laws: inner ring particles orbiting faster, and outer ring particles orbiting slower. b.All have gaps and ringlets, probably due to gap moons, shepherd moons, and orbital resonances. c.All probably look much like they did when the solar system first formed. d.All the particle orbits are fairly circular, near their planet's equatorial plane.
From the Brera Observatory in Milan in the late 1800s, Schiaparelli mapped and named many of the major features of the Planet Mars -- and we still use those naming conventions today. He also mapped a network of what he called "canali" (or channels) on the surface of Red Planet. While later studies proved that these observations were the product of optical illusions, the mistranslation of his word as 'canals' into English lead to widespread speculation about the possibilty of extraterrestrial intelligent life. (So most late 19th and early 20th century tales of Martian invasions -- e.g., Wells' War of the Worlds -- owe a debt to Schiaparelli!) In addition, Schiaparelli contributed to the modern scientific understanding of the relationship between meteor showers and asteroids, and he made early observations regarding the orbits of binary stars and the orbital patterns of Mercury and Venus.
All current scientific evidence suggests that Earth has existed for approximately 4-5 billion years.Question's such as these will have different answers, simply because no one knows.

It is believed that Nicolaus Copernicus first proposed the heliocentric theory.
No Nicolaus Copernicus created it (although the planet's orbits were perfect circles in his model). Isaac Newton expanded on it. After Copernicus, Johannes Kepler stated that the orbits were elliptical. Isaac Newton came up with the theory of universal gravitation.
Nicolas Copernicus first said this in the early 1500's. Before him, most people thought that the solar system revolved around the Earth. However, if one watches the planets for enough nights, eventually they will make some strange loops that Ptolemy called "epicycles" Ptolemy's system, which lasted for about 2,000 years, was extremely complicated. Copernicus's system, though, was relatively simple; he drew perfect circles (Johannes Kepler later proved that planets follow elliptical orbits) to represent the orbits of the planets known at the time. Despite his one inaccuracy (perfect circles), Copernicus's theory was still one giant step in the right direction.
He suggested the orbits were circles.
Copernicus did not reject the idea that planetary orbits around our Sun were circular.
· Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland on the 19th of February 1473· Nicolaus died on the 4 May 1543 at the age of 70· Nicolaus full name is Nicolaus Copernicus but his original name was Mikolaj Kopernik· Nicolaus's dad Niklas Koppernigk (aka Nicolaus Copernicus Sr.) was a wholesale trader and was a native Krakow.· Barbara Watzelrode Nicolaus's mother is from a high mercantile family.· Nicolaus had one brother and two sisters- Andreas- Barbara- Katharina· At the age of ten Nicolaus lost his father and was adopted by his uncle, Lucas Watzenrode· Nicolaus didn't have a wife or any children because· Nicolaus when to:- University of Krakow to study math, painting and medicine- University of Bologna so that he could study Greek, mathematics and astronomy- University of Padua to study more medicine- University of Ferrara and studied canon law of the Roman Catholic Church.- In 1491 at the University of Krakow, Nicolaus began his he studies by studding math, painting and medicine. Later on in his live when working at a church Nicolaus became interested in astronomy. In 1513 Nicolaus opened his own observatory so that he could study the planets and stars by himself.- In 1543 just before he died Nicolaus proved that the sun was in the middle on the universe this is exactly what the picture underneath is showing. The Catholic Church ignored Nicolaus discovery for nearly 3 centuries and after Nicolaus died the Catholic Church banned everyone from reading the information he found out about the universe. Nicolaus also proved that the sun, the moon and the earth were round.
