Answer:


Newton


Step-by-step explanation:


Ptolemy usually talked about "Earth-centered," or "geocentric" theory that all celestial objects — including the planets, Sun, Moon, and stars — orbited Earth. Earth, in the center of the universe, did not move at all and obviously this theory has been proven wrong.


Brahe model had all the planets (except Earth) orbiting around the Sun, but then the Sun orbited around the Earth. This is also a wrong concept.


Kepler's Laws are mostly based upon the Planetary Motion and are incomplete is some areas.


Only Newton law best describes the motion of all planets where he says that all motion, whether it was the orbit of the Moon around the Earth or an apple falling from a tree, followed the same basic principles.
