Correct answers:
- by publishing his work in Italian
- by explaining why planets appear to move backward
Galileo made Copernican ideas accessible to the general public by writing in Italian (not Latin) and used telescopic observations (e.g., the phases of Venus and the apparent motions of planets) to show that retrograde motion is an apparent effect of relative motion, supporting the heliocentric model.
