It was published in 1543
Copernicus is generally accredited with the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
he thought the earth revolved around the sun. every one else thought it was the other way round.
The earth has seasons mainly because of the tilt to the earth towards or away from the sun. Contrary to popular belief, the distance from the sun caused by Earth's elliptical orbit only makes a minuscule difference in climate.
Nicolas Copernicus first said this in the early 1500's. Before him, most people thought that the solar system revolved around the Earth. However, if one watches the planets for enough nights, eventually they will make some strange loops that Ptolemy called "epicycles" Ptolemy's system, which lasted for about 2,000 years, was extremely complicated. Copernicus's system, though, was relatively simple; he drew perfect circles (Johannes Kepler later proved that planets follow elliptical orbits) to represent the orbits of the planets known at the time. Despite his one inaccuracy (perfect circles), Copernicus's theory was still one giant step in the right direction.
Copernicus believed in a heliocentric universe. He believed that the Sun was stationary and that the Earth revolved around it.

Nicolaus Copernicus.
Nicolaus Copernicus believed that the planets revolved around the sun. At the time, it was believed that the sun and planets revolved around Earth. Because of this, when after his works were published (which didn't happen until just before he died), followers of Copernicus were considered heretics.
Nicolaus Copernicus had his idea officially published in 1543 when he died.
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first person to declare that the world revolved around the sun. Before that time, people thought that Earth was the center of the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer. His greatest contribution was to assert that the earth revolves around the sun. At the time that Copernicus lived, the general conception was that the sun revolved around earth.
Both Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei said that the Earth revolved around the Sun. Many from their time believed the Sun revolved around the Earth.
Nicolaus Copernicus was a real astronomer who was able to figure out that the earth, as well as all the planets, revolved around the sun and that the Earth rotates on its axis once every day*.Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer who discovered that the Sun is the center of the universe (Heliocentric Theory) and the planets and stars revolved around it. This discovery shattered the Geocentric Theory, the thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it.Bcause he knew his findings would be rejected, and he might face exicution, he did not publish his book On the Revolutions of Heavenly Bodies until 1543, the year he died.*Johannes Kepler discovered this
Nicolaus Copernicus who was not Muslim developed the model of the solar system where the Earth revolved around the Sun
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first person to say that the universe revolved around the sun. Before that, it was highly accepted that the earth was the center of the universe.
Answer this question…Before he proposed his heliocentric theory, most Europeans believed that the sun revolved around Earth.
