geocentric theory
The Geocentric Theory was developed by Greek astronomers. The theory was that celestial bodies moved around Earth in circular paths.
The view of geocentric model evolved as scientific observations and discoveries provided evidence that the Earth revolves around the Sun, known as the heliocentric model. Astronomers like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler contributed to this shift in understanding, ultimately leading to the acceptance of the heliocentric model as the correct explanation of our solar system.
Aristotle supported the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. He did not propose a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center. It was later astronomers like Copernicus who challenged the geocentric model in favor of a heliocentric one.
Before the heliocentric model gained acceptance, many ancient astronomers believed in a geocentric universe where the Earth was considered the center of the solar system.
Aristarchus of Samos
Aristotle did not develop the geocentric model; it was proposed by earlier Greek astronomers. Aristotle supported this model in his work "On the Heavens" around the 4th century BCE, arguing that Earth was at the center of the universe.
astroneomers were not shunned because of the geocentric model but the heliocentric model (with the sun in the middle of the universe). This was because religious leaders believed that god created the earth as the center of the universe and this idea was believed by nearly everybody.
Early astronomers believed in the geocentric model because it appeared to explain the motion of celestial bodies in the sky. The model was supported by the apparent daily motion of the sun and stars around the Earth. Additionally, there was a philosophical and religious belief at the time that Earth was the center of the universe.
