The Sun is the center of the solar system and all of the planets in our solar system revolve around it.
The Sun is a burning ball of hydrogen about 1.392×106 kilometers (865133 miles) across. (the sun)
"Helio" = "Sun"; "centric" refers to the center. So a "heliocentric" system has the Sun at the center. This is roughly accurate if you are thinking about the solar system.
But if you consider other things, you'll find that the Sun isn't in the center of anything; the Sun is a fairly small star orbiting the center of the Milky Way galaxy, one of perhaps four hundred BILLION other stars. In the great scheme of things, we're nothing special.
Or, perhaps we are. The center of the galaxy probably contains a hypermassive black hole, and the chances are that there is no "life as we know it" there. We cannot begin to guess the odds that there may be other life forms, other alien civilizations out there among the stars. All we know is that we haven't found any YET.
Perhaps we're it; the universe may harbor no competition. As unlikely as that seems, this may all be ours.
We do not know.
The Sun
The Sun or "Sol" which is its actual name.
The Sun was at the center in the Ptolemaic model of the universe
The geocentric model has the Earth as the center.
what is at the center of the heliocentric model
The star that our solar system revolves around is the Sun, also known as Sol.
The sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun is a star.
The Earth was placed at the center of the Greek model of the solar system. This is called the Ptolemy System, or the geocentric theory (geocentrism).
The Earth (hence the name geo-centric: earth-centered, as opposed to heliocentric: sun-centered)
If this is from Florida Focus, and in general terms, Modern astronomers would suggest the Sun is not the exact center of the Solar System, but would agree that the Sun is not revolving around Earth.
Astronomers Believe That The Solar System Began As A Huge Cloud Of Dust And A Gas Called ''NEBULA''
The discovery that all the planets go around the sun is attributed to Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish astronomer in the 16th century. He proposed the heliocentric model, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system, with the planets orbiting around it. This model challenged the earlier geocentric model, which believed that Earth was the center of the universe.

Right in the center. Actually, from any point of view it would look as if we were in the center of the Universe.Right in the center.

People thought the earth was in the center of the solar system
they are both greek astronomers that first thought the sun was the center of our solar system
None.

I believe the first person to position the sun at the center of our solar system was Copernicus during the Renaissance, Years before this many astronomers believed that the Earth was the center of the Universe.
Mainly astronomers. But cosmologists and astrophysicists will also be interested in outer space.
He placed the Sun at the center of what is now called the Solar System instead of the Earth.
