in medieval times we thought that the earth was the center of the universe and that all the planets of our solar system moved around the earth. the church used to preach this in those times as The Bible had it that god created the earth at the center of the universe.no one questioned this.

later during the renaissance period great astronomers like Copernicus, Galileo etc with the aid of newly invented telescopes stated that the sun was the center of the solar system .they had facts to prove this theory.this became supported by many astronomers over the years,and now it is a law

So far, we have only found out that Earth is the only Planet in our solar system with life on because it is the only one that has water and all life (that we have found) need water to be able to live.

That refers to the fact that the planets move in orbits around the Sun, and the moons around the planets. Also, the entire Solar System orbits the Milky Way.
