The heliocentric idea is that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system and it replaced the alternative geocentric system (in which the Earth was at the centre) gradually from about 1680 to 1840 as more and more scientific showed that it was the best model.

Finally when stellar parallax was discovered in 1838 by Bessel most astronomers were forced to accept the heliocentric theory, which includes Kepler's laws of planetary motion and Newton's law of gravity and the laws of motion.
