Galileo increased public support for Copernicus's heliocentric model by publishing his work in Italian, making it more accessible. He also explained the apparent retrograde motion of planets by advocating that Earth's rotation creates the illusion of movement. These efforts helped demystify complex astronomical concepts and encouraged acceptance of the heliocentric theory. ;
