Neither, both the planet Earth and our sun which is a small G class star called Sol, make up our solar system along with either seven or eight over planets, and we reside on the rim of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our galaxy is one of millions of other galaxies in the universe. But we're certainly not in the center.
(I believe the squabble over the status of Pluto has not yet been resolved.)
In a geocentric universe the earth is the center of the universe or solar system and everything revolves around it. In a heliocentric universe the sun or a star is the center of the universe or solar system. We live in a heliocentric solar system with the sun as the center.
Nicolaus Copernicus found that the sun is in center of the universe
Aristarchus was an ancient Greek astronomer who proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the solar system. He suggested a heliocentric model of the universe, where the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This idea was revolutionary but was not widely accepted in his time.
The sun-centered universe model is known as the heliocentric model, with the Sun as the center around which the planets orbit. This model was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, challenging the prevailing geocentric model that placed Earth at the center of the universe.
Ptolemy's view proposed a geocentric model where Earth was at the center of the universe, while Aristarchus suggested a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center and Earth revolving around it. This fundamental difference in perspective laid the groundwork for later advancements in understanding the solar system.

Copernicus.
He was a Polish mathematician who disagreed with Ptolemy's view that the earth is the center of the universe. The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.

it means that Copernicus ( the discoverer ) felt as if the sun is the center of the universe. ptolemy and Copernicus bumped heads for years because ptolemy belived that the earth was the center of the universe
The statement that is true about the sun is A: the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun is indeed at the center of our solar system, around which all planets, including Earth, revolve. It is not at the center of the entire universe, and the idea that the sun revolves around Earth and Earth's moon is a misconception.

Geocentric is that the earth is the center of the universe and heliocentric is the sun is the center of the universe. can it be nothing.
It wasn't a polish astronomer that suggested the earth was not the center of the universe.
