Who is nicolaus Copernicus?
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance-era mathematician and astronomer who developed the heliocentric model of the universe, which placed the Sun at the center of the solar system with the planets, including Earth, revolving around it. His theory revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
What did parmenides discover?
Parmenides discovered that the earth was round by the earth's shadow
How did Copernicus prove that the earth wasn't in the middle of the universe?
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
Who was the Italian astronomer who said the earth revolves round the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus, in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, published in 1543), first showed that the earth revolves around the sun. However, he was Polish, not Italian. Galileo Galilei (born 1564 in Italy) started publicly supporting the heliocentric theory in 1610, which he backed up with observations through his telescope.
