What did Galileo do?

Answer 1

Galileo was famous for inventing the thermometer, perfecting the telescope and for experimenting with gravity and pendulums (which influenced Newton's laws of motion).

He also dropped all Aristotelian talk of WHY things moved, and thought more about HOW things move, through painstaking observations and measurements. Galileo also thought of things such as time, distance, and acceleration to describe how things move.

His observations supported the heliocentric (Sun-centered) solar system as proposed by Copernicus. Advocating this theory led to his trial for heresy against the church, for which he was placed under house arrest for the final years of his life.

Answer 2

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer who played a major role in the scientific revolution. He made significant contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, and mathematics, including improving the telescope and supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus. Galileo's observations and experiments laid the foundation for modern physics and his work is considered pivotal in the development of the scientific method.

Answer 3

Galileo was an astronomer who IMPROVED not invented but IMPROVED the telescope. with his improved telescope, galieo looked up into the heavens and discovered jupiter and its moons, the moon wasn't perfecty round and smooth, and he also discovered that one of our neiboring planets go through phases similar to our moons phases. Galileo then realised that the copernican theory (that the sun is the center of our universe) is right. Galileo showed his dicoveries to the church who was angered by galileo's discovery because it goes against The Bible so that means god is wrong. galileo was sent into house arrest after a series of trials. Galileo became blind and he died in his "house that was more like a prison now" {galileo}

Answer 4

Galileo was the first to make improvements to the telescope
