Which of these diagrams best shows the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus? The picture shows an ellipse. The sun is labeled on the ellipse. Earth is shown at the left hand focus of the ellipse. The picture shows an ellipse. Earth is labeled on the ellipse. The sun is shown at the left hand focus of the ellipse. The picture shows nine concentric circles which represent orbits. Earth is shown at the centre of the circles. The first orbit around Earth shows the moon, the second orbit shows Mercury, the third orbit shows Venus, the fourth orbit shows the sun, the fifth orbit shows Mars, the sixth orbit shows Jupiter, and the seventh orbit shows Saturn. The picture shows six concentric circles which represent orbits. The sun is at the center. The first orbit around the sun shows Mercury, the second orbit shows Venus, the third orbit shows Earth, the fourth orbit shows Mars, the fifth orbit shows Jupiter, and the sixth orbit shows Saturn.



Answer :

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

According to the Kepler, the arrangement of solar system is heliocentric which means that the sun is at the centre and all other planet rotate around it.  

As per Kepler’s first law  - All the planet rotate around the sun in elliptical paths  

As per Kepler’s second  law  - The radius vector wrt position of planet on elliptical orbit sweeps equal area.

As per Kepler’s third law  - The cubes of the planets mean distances from the Sun is directly proportional squares of the sidereal periods

As per Kepler , the solar system arrangement would look like a way more similar to as shown in the option D
