Nicolas Copernicus came up with the Copernican Model of the Solar System. It described the Earth orbiting the Sun, displacing the Ptolemaic model, which placed the Earth at the centre of the universe, and formed the basis of what we know of the solar system to this very day. This is called a Heliocentric model of the universe, from Helios (the greek god of the sun, often used to show the sun himself), and Centric, (meaning around, where we get our word centre from).
