The three correct features of Copernicus's model of the solar system are:
1. The Sun is at the center.
2. The planets move in perfect circles.
3. The stars are fixed to an outer sphere.
(Note: While Copernicus's model did imply epicycles, it was more in line with the Ptolemaic system's approach for some planet motion. However, the focus of his heliocentric model emphasizes the Sun's central position and circular orbits rather than epicycles.)
