Jul 25, 2019 at 13:54 comment added user230507 Can you explain how he observed the planets position in Uraniborg?

Please use proper links, not that messy Google stuff.
Jul 25, 2019 at 6:52 comment added PM 2Ring AFAIK, parallax wasn't of much relevance for that model. Although he had no telescopes, Tycho had an observatory, Uraniborg. So he was able to compile more accurate observations of planetary positions than his predecessors. That data was subsequently vital to Kepler's determination of the orbit of Mars.
