Resource summary
The Solar System
Observing objects in space
Luminous objects in space give out visible light
These visible light waves allow people to study different objects
Many objects don't give out visible light
They emit radio waves and microwaves
Different types of telescopes are used to detect the different waves
Scientists use this data to make conclusions about the Universe
Solar System models
Geocentric model
Ptolemy's geocentric model
Planets moved in small circles as they orbited the Earth
Heliocentric model
Copernicus's heliocentric model
A model with the Sun at the centre of the Solar System
Telescopes
With the invention of the telescope, it allowed scientists to see objects in space in much greater detail
Galileo discovered four of Jupiter's moons using a telescope
By plotting the movements he showed that not everything orbited the Earth
This and other observations supported Copernicus's idea
Supported the heliocentric model
As telescopes improved more discoveries were made
Like the planets Uranus and Neptune and the dwarf planet Pluto
