Greek who thought the sun oribted the earth?
I believe that was Aristotle. This would be a geocentric universe. Galileo however, knew the universe was heliocentric and was persecuted for it.
Where was the sun discovered?
They sun has always been there (or at least since life has been on this rock). It wasn't until 1615, when it was realized (by Galileo Galilei) that Earth was the center of the solar system and actually orbited the sun (it was originally thought that the sun revolved around us).
He was forced to admit publicly that the earth stood motionless at the center of the universe?
This statement likely refers to Galileo Galilei, who was famously forced by the Catholic Church to recant his support for heliocentrism (the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun) in the 17th century. Galileo's support for heliocentrism conflicted with the geocentric view held by the Church at that time.
