Copernicus had difficulty convincing his peers of the validity of his heliocentric model because if Earth were moving around the Sun, stellar parallax should have been observed, which it wasn’t. If Earth’s orbital radius about the Sun were magically doubled, would this make stellar parallax easier or harder to observe? Explain.
