The reason why Copernicus's heliocentric theory eventually came to be regarded as preferable to
the geocentric theory of Ptolemy is that the heliocentric theory accounted for the same observed
motions of the planets as the geocentric theory but did so in a much simpler way. accounted for
the same observed motions of the planets as the geocentric theory but did so much more
complicated way. used complex constructions called epicycles and deferents to account for the
