Galileo Galilei concluded first after the theory was proposed by another scientist. But the scientist was forced to drink poison as it challenges the Christians' religious belief that the Earth is the center of the universe and all planets including the sun, move around it. Galileo then withdraw his statement and agrees with the Christian as he was afarid he would suffer the same fate. Thefore making Galileo the unofficially conclude the theory.
What else can I help you with?
Are planets fixed in space?
Certainly not, they revolve around a star and the star moves as well.
What would happen if the planets did not move in their fixed path?
If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.
What is the difference between geocentric heliocentric and planetary motion?
Geocentric motion of planet is that in which earth is at the centre of the universe and all other planets revolving around it.Heliocentric motion of planets is that in which sun is the of universe and other planets revolving around it.In planetary motion all the planets includes Earth revolving around the Sun in their fixed orbit.
Why are planets also called as wanderers?
The very first astronomers merely looked at night at the stars. They noticed that almost all the stars circled the north star (Polaris) during the night (this is due to the Earth's rotation). Some of the stars seemed to be moving differently, with paths of their own, these were not stars, but were planets.
How are planets fixed in their place in the solar system?
By gravity
Do Earth's minimum and maximum distances from the sun change year to year?
Those distance can change slightly, mainly due to gravitational attraction by other planets. But as a first approximation, you can think of Earth's orbit around the Sun as fixed.
What shape name would define the obrit of the planets around the sun?
The shape that defines the orbit of planets around the sun is an ellipse. An ellipse is a closed curve in which the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points (foci) is constant.
Why are planets not part of constellations?
Constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth, while planets are celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Planets move independently of the fixed background of stars, so their positions change over time. This is why they are not fixed components of constellations.
What are epicycles?
In ancient astronomy, epicycles were imaginary circles within orbits used to explain the retrograde motion of planets. The concept was developed to account for the observed movements of planets in the sky.
What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?
If planets did not move in a fixed orbit, their paths would become unpredictable and chaotic. This would likely result in collisions between planets or ejections from the solar system. Ultimately, the stability of the entire solar system would be compromised.

Why sun is constant at its position where as planets and satelitites change their position?
The sun is not really fixed, it's moving in our galaxy at high speed, in orbit around the galactic core. All of the planets are going with the sun, locked into it's huge gravitational pull.
