1 answer

The correct answer is 4. Galileo, Kepler, and Newton.

These scientists supported and built upon Copernicus's heliocentric model. Galileo provided observational evidence that supported the heliocentric theory, particularly with his discovery of Jupiter's moons. Kepler formulated the laws of planetary motion that described the orbits of the planets around the sun, and Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation provided the framework for understanding the forces that govern celestial movements.
