Answer 1

The correct statement about the development of Copernicus's model after his death is:

His model was not accepted until many years later.

Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, but it took a long time for it to gain widespread acceptance. Even after his death in 1543, the geocentric model was still widely believed until further evidence from later astronomers, such as Galileo and Kepler, solidified the heliocentric view.
