It became generally agreed that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System after Newton's discoveries in the century after Galileo's death made it possible to calculate the mass of planets and the Sun, and it was realised that the Sun must be at the centre because it is so massive.
The other major piece of evidence, the parallax of stars observed as the Earth moves round the Sun, was not discovered until the 19th century.
That gave the proof of the heliocentric system that the church asked Galileo for, but it was not available to anyone at that time (1610), which is why the church said he must not state that the Sun actually is at the centre although they said it was all right to assume it for modelling and prediction purposes. His trial came after he persisted in stating publicly that the Sun is at the centre, which contradicted scientific and theological beliefs at the time.
A2. Galileo was of course n the right track, but the planets do not describe circles round the Sun, and it was up to Newton, who proved that the path of planets were elipses, that their real behaviour was better explained.
We cannot say when Galileo Galilei proved Aristotle wrong because Copernicus started the movement of the heliocentric method. We can say that he realized that the paleocentric or the geocentric model of the Ptolemaic-Aristotelian universe was erred when he looked into the skies with his telescope.
He noticed Jupiter and its moons and found that it followed a regular pattern around the planet. He argued that this was evidence itself that earth is not the foundation of the universe as proposed by The Bible. He supported De Revolutionibus of Copernicus and later had to face the Inquisition for this 'heresy'.
So we may say he proved Aristotle wrong on 7 January 161, the day he observed the planet Jupiter with his refracting telescope
What is the of pendulum theory of Galilio
He didn't because the Catholic Church was correct. Most Church leaders, including the pope, agreed with Galileo's hypothesis but asked him to stop teaching it as fact unless he had absolute proof that it was correct. He could not provide proof but continued teaching it anyway. He even went so far as to publish insulting remarks about the pope who was, perhaps, his greatest supporter. Copernicus, the scientist who originally developed the theory before Galileo, had no problems with the Church because he did not teach it as scientific fact. Of course, today we know that Galileo was correct in his thinking because of advancements made in science. However, at the time Galileo neglected to use diplomacy and that got him into hot water.
Galileo was subject to an Inquisition from the Church because he was teaching Copernican theory.
Galileo had a falling out with the church over his scientific papers regarding the Earth revolving around the sun. This went against the church belief's at the time and Galileo was forced to go to Rome for a trail and denounce his scientific findings.
It was curiosity which made galileo famous. For example: he did experiments to see if he is correct. That is what made Galileo Famous
Galileo got locked up because the people from the church didn't believe him. They were were scared about what Galileo told the people

Some religious people in the Catholic Church accused Galileo of being in error for his scientific assertion that the earth revolved around the sun; this contradicted Christian understanding of the Bible and in 1633, Galileo became a victim of the Inquisition; he was forced by the Pope to admit he was wrong about his theory. It would not be until 1992 that the Catholic Church, under Pope John Paul II, officially apologized for its persecution of Galileo. But while he was correct that the earth was not "fixed" as the church believed, Galileo did make some errors during his lifetime of scientific experimentation. Probably his biggest mistake was his 1616 theory about what caused the tides; he did not realize that there was a relationship between the moon and the tides, and instead attributed them to the earth speeding up and slowing down at different times of the day.
In galileo`s time the catholic church was at authority
Galileo challenged church teachings by saying that the heliocentric model of the universe was true

Galileo's work came into conflict with the church because he advocated a heliocentric model of out solar system. This conflicted with what it says in The Bible.
