Was Aristotle the first to propose the sun was the center of the universe?
Aristotle did not believe that the Sun was at the center; he thought Earth was. Aristarchus, a Greek astronomer, is probably the earliest person we know of who supported a heliocentric solar system.
Who made the geocentric model?
The Earth does not move. Everything in the sky can be seen to revolve round the Earth every day, approximately. The stars do no move forward and back as they would do if the Earth moved. If it doesn't seem to move, why pretend that it does?
When did man first realize the spherical nature of earth and what fostered this realization?
The earliest that we know of was the Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos, about 280BCE. His writings actually did not survive the middle ages, but references to his work in other books did. It's possible that some people earlier came up with the idea, but we're not aware of it.
What does it mean when a constellation is described as flat?
Oh, dude, when a constellation is described as flat, it means that the stars within that group appear to lie in the same plane when viewed from Earth. It's like they're all chilling on the same level, you know? So, if someone tells you a constellation is flat, they're not talking about it hitting the gym or anything, just that it looks all lined up from our perspective in the night sky.
Is the moon closer to the sun than earth?
It is an arc, a part of a circle. This was one of the reasons why the ancient Greek astronomers knew that the Earth was round, over 2400 years ago. The idea that astronomers or scientists believed that the Earth was "flat" has always been a myth. Only the peasants and farmers thought the Earth was flat. Every sailor from the Phoenicians on knew the Earth was round.
How did people come to know that earth was flat?
People back then thought earth was flat because when they walked they didnt know that they were going upside down or sideways because gravity pulled them down and they thought everything was just flat.
Who first said that earth is not flat?
The ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras is often credited with first suggesting that the Earth is not flat, but rather a sphere, around the 6th century BC. This idea was further developed by other ancient scholars, such as Aristotle and Eratosthenes.
