What planetary model allows scientists to predict the exact positions of planets in night sky over many years?

Either the heliocentric or the geocentric model would allow predictions of the
future motions of the planets. It was not the inability to predict that sacked
the geocentric model. It was the simplicity of the heliocentric model. Kepler's
hypothetical ellipses helped a lot, and Newton's gravitation sealed the deal,
when he showed that heliocentric, elliptical planetary orbits, just as Kepler
described them, had to spring forth from gravitation.

A) Environment
What is the future of Africa?
The future is difficult to predict accurately (but very easy to predict inaccurately) so allow me to predict that Africa is facing a difficult future.
Did the Mayans predict 9 11?
No.
Does the Bible say that no one can predict doomsday?
Actually i heard that there is another book like the bible and its said:"No one can predict Doomsday that only god knows".
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
It's impossible to predict the future.
Who discovered the planetary alignment?
Scientists can predict when the planets will almost align by using math equations. A true and total planet alignment would be exceedingly rare and not in our lifetime.
What is important about Kepler law of planetary motion?
Kepler's three laws are important because they are used to predict the positions of planets years into the future. That is a help to navigators, astronomers and people planning space voyages.
How are planets made from gas?
Scientists predict that they are planets because there wouldn't be random gas' from unknown places
What is jathakam?
It's a script/document containing ones planetary positions/information to understand, forecast, predict ones future health, wealth, illness, prosperity in alignment with planets/stars. The reason it's in alignment with planets/stars since the galaxies created planets/stars and also the life on earth hence we are stars ourselves.
How can astrology predict the future with date and time?
Astrology is the study of the relationship between celestial objects (planets, stars, etc.) and terrestrial phenomena (human behavior, etc.). The position of these objects in the sky is known as "celestial longitude" or "celestial latitude". In astrology, astrologers use such celestial coordinates to predict planetary influences on Earth. Sometimes the astrologers assign a zodiac sign to a particular date and time. They calculate the planetary positions of the beginning of a year and compare it to the planetary positions at the time in question. It's possible that the same person can have different horoscopes in different years. The position of planets in the sky does not change from year to year, but it does change over the course of a day. For planets, the sky does not change from hour to hour, but the sky changes from minute to minute or from second to second. The astrologers use the position of planets in the sky at the given date and time to calculate the horoscope.
Copernicus heliocentric model failed to work as well as it might to predict the positions of planets because Copernicus insisted the orbits were?
He theorized that planetary orbits were circular - in fact, they're elliptical (elongated). He also theorized that the Sun was the center of the Universe, which of course it's not.

What are 3 ways space exploration has helped scientists?
It has helped the scientists predict the weather, learn how the planets actually are, and understand what space actually is.
What is the strengths and weaknesses of the geocentric model of the universe?
Its strength was that it could predict the positions of the planets with pretty good accuracy. Its weakness was that by 1600 the techniques of measuring planets' positions had advanced to the point where discrepancies were noticed in the predictions made with the geocentric model.
Can astronomers predict planetary alignment?
Uh... yeah
What similarity did Ptolemy and Copernicus have about the solar system?
They were two theories that were used to predict the positions of the planets as they moved among the fixed stars. They both used planetary orbits based on combinations of circles and they were both pretty accurate. Ptolemy had the Earth at the centre while Copernicus had the Sun at the centre. They were both replaced by Kepler's theory, published in 1609, which had elliptical orbits for the planets and also had the Sun at the centre.
Is the study of the solar system and the objects in it called astrology?
No, its called Astronomy. Astrology is where fortune tellers try and predict the future through the positions of planets and stars.
