  8. Students Challenges “I understood that Copernicus also used epicycles in his model. Oh, I see--to make his model more accurate, not to explain retrograde motion.”

  9. Students Challenges “I said that if a planet were 3 AU from the Sun, its sidereal period would be 9 years. Sidereal period is defined in the activity on page 61 and Mars' sideral period is given as 1.88 years. I can't find any discussion of sidereal period in the reading. Mar's period of revolution is 1.881 in the chart on p. 57, so I thought they were the same.”

  10. Students Challenges “On page 68, the text states that Galileo published in Italian, a language common people were more likely to read than Latin, and the resulting controversy was a factor in the churches issuing a proclamation prohibiting Galileo from holding or defending his views.”
