Aristarchus, in the 3rd century BC, was the first to postulate that our Solar System is heliocentric. Later, in 1743, Copernicus advanced the same hypothesis, but in a more comprehensive form.
The scientist made the heliocentric model of the solar system. It is a word for the graphical model of our solar system.
Its main strength is that it is the model which is universally accepted by everyone. Copernicus put forward a heliocentric model that used circular orbits. That meant he couldn't completely eliminate all the complications of the old geocentric model, such as "epicycles". Later Kepler showed that the planets move in elliptical orbits. The basic idea of the heliocentric model is that the Sun is at the centre. One of the main strengths is the simplicity of the heliocentric model. Kepler's version (still used today) of the model with its elliptical orbits is particularly elegant and simple, with no epicycles.
Galieo was the first astronomer to view Jupiter's moons through a telescope and proved the heliocentric model.
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.

Not too long ago, people could be burned at the stake for suggesting we live in a heliocentric world.
Ptolemy
The Vatican did not believe in heliocentric theory for a long time.
Heliocentric theory is a model of the solar system that places the Sun in a central place, with the planets orbiting it.
