Who proposed the Bohr model of the atom and in what year?

Neil Bohr proposed the Bohr model of the atom in 1915.

What did Rutherford's atomic model propose and how did Bohr modify it?

Rutherford's model introduced the nuclear model of an atom with a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Bohr modified this model by explaining that electrons move in fixed orbitals (shells) with fixed energy levels.

How did Bohr modify Rutherford's model of an atom?

Bohr modified Rutherford's model by introducing the concept of electrons moving in fixed orbitals (shells) with fixed energy levels, as opposed to moving anywhere in between orbits.
