The idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed in the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos.
In the 16th Century this idea was revived and a fully poredictive heliocentric model was put forward by Nicolaus Copernicus. This model was subsequently extended by Johannes Kepler.
William Herschel subsequently expanded this model further to show that the Sun was not the centre of the Universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus came up with the heliocentric theory. He didn't just wake up one day and say: "I know, let's have the Sun at the centre", but he also did a lot of work producing a system of large and small circles that the planets follow, to make his model agree with observations as closely as possible.
His model was at least as complex as the earlier Earth-centred theory, but a long time later, after Newton's theory of gravity and laws of motion were produced, it became clear that having the Sun at the centre fits theory the best because it is so massive there are no forces in the Solar System which can move it very far.
The essentials of the current model were proposed by Johannes Kepler in the early 1600s. The planets were given planar elliptical orbits with the Sun at (or near) the centre, each inclined slightly to the ecliptic and obeying Conservation of Angular Momentum. After Kepler's time further discoveries explained the dynamic mechanisms involved in maintaining these orbits.

He published it at the end of his life to increase the chances of it being accepted.
Ptolemy created that system.

No. He only came with the idea of a heliocentric model. (Sun-centred) He also stated that the Earth orbited around it.
Sir Michael Tyson.
The Bohr model describes an atom as having a central nucleus where most of the mass is concentrated, around which electrons orbited at discrete distances, somewhat like the solar system with the sun where the atom's nucleus would be (and again, most of the mass) and the planets orbiting it. In an atom, electrostatic forces attract the electrons to the nucleus; in the solar system, gravity is the binding force.
geocentric model, where the sun and other planets orbited the Earth.
Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the moon.No. The above answer is incorrect.Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the EARTH in epicycles. Not the moon. (The model that modeled the planets orbiting earth was the Geocentric model. Aristotle theorized this.)Copernicus's model is known as the Heliocentric model. Ptolemy's theory of epicycles is when the planets revolved in large circles around Earth.

Galileo discovered Jupiter's Moons. After them for a while, he realized that they orbited around the planet. He took a look at Mars and Venus and realized that they orbited around the Sun. This let him think that the Earth was orbiting the sun as well. His theory here, however, argued against Ptolemic's model thinking that the Earth was the center.

Copernicus proposed it, Galileo fought for it. It is called the Heliocentric model.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Galileo initially showed using phases of the planet venus that it orbited around the sun and not the earth, this supported a new model developed by Copernicus suggesting that the earth orbited the sun and not vice versa. It had always been assumed that the moon orbited the earth. Later with the invention of Newtonian physics, a more concise model of the solar system was developed using the laws of gravity explained that the much smaller earth would orbit around the much larger sun and that the smaller moon would orbit the larger earth.
