Copernicus put forward a model of the solar system with the Sun at the centre, which was repeated by Galileo. It remained a theory until after further refined theories and observations by Isaac Newton and others showed that the Sun is much more massive than the planets and must therefore stay at the centre.
He discovered that the earth was round not flat.
He did not need to discover that as it was already known by the ancient Greeks.
Galileo discovered, in his observations of the different phases of Venus, that Venus and the Earth were revolving around the Sun. This was contrary to the misconception at the time that everything revolved around the Earth.
It didn't. Yes, but it did have an effect on the debate. It showed that not everything rotates around the Earth.
Galileo's theory proposed that the Earth rotates on its axis, which challenged the prevailing belief that the Earth was stationary. Today, we have overwhelming evidence to support Galileo's theory, such as the Foucault pendulum and the Coriolis effect. We now know that the Earth rotates at a constant speed and causes the phenomena of day and night.
hi discoverd that earth was not a sqaur it was raound
He discovered that the earth was round not flat.
The first man to discover that the earth moves around the sun was an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei.
Galileo, happend in the late 1600s
It was the Italian Galileo who poved that the earth rotates round the sun.

Galileo discovered, in his observations of the different phases of Venus, that Venus and the Earth were revolving around the Sun. This was contrary to the misconception at the time that everything revolved around the Earth.
Galileo. It's more complicated than that. Several people were involved. The main ones were Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton.
Jean Foucault
