Answer:He agreed with Plotemy that the planets moved, but he did not believe they revolved around the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish scientist who, around 1500, challenged the accepted view of the universe and introduced what was called the Copernican system. At that time it was believed that the planets moved around the Earth, however, Copernicus suggested that the planets moved around the sun which was the centre of the universe. He also spoke about the Earth's rotation.
