Homework #1 10 points Question #1 (2 pts) Even in ancient times
... Even in ancient times, astronomers knew that planets vary in brightness over the course of several months or even years. Explain, why this observation can not be used to rule out the geocentric model, in which all planets and the Sun orbit the Earth on circular orbits. Ignore the epicycles, i.e. ass ...
