Who was the first to believe that all planets except Earth orbit the sun?
I'm not aware that any observer EVER argued that "all planets except Earth" orbited the Sun. The first person we know of to argue that the Sun was the center of things, and that the Earth orbited the Sun, was Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek astronomer and mathematician about 2400 years ago.
Who discovered that planets orbit the sun?
The idea that planets orbited the Sun had been thought of many times before, but it was not until the 17th century that this idea was actually supported by evidence from the first telescopic observations of Galileo Galilei.
Why are Terrestrial planets closer to the sun then the Jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets are made of denser materials than Jovian planets. The planets were primarily formed from the left over disc of dust that orbited our sun when it first formed. The heavier elements were draw closer to the sun by gravity and the lighter ones flung further outward by their high orbital speed.
How old was John Glenn when he orbited the moon?
John Glenn orbited the earth, the first American to do so. He was forty at the time.
What country orbited the earth first?
The Soviet Union (USSR)

Is it true that Brahe was the first astronomer to understand that the planets orbited the sun in an ellipse?
Yes, True
Who was the first European scientist to suggest that orbits of the planets were elliptical?
It was Johannes Kepler.
Which scientist stated that planets move around the Sun in an ellipse?
Johannes Kepler was the first to state that planets move in elliptical orbits.
What scientist first stated that the paths of planets are ellipses instead of circles.?
Johannes Kepler

Which animal first orbited the moon?
No animal has orbited the moon other than man. Dogs and monkeys have orbited the earth.

Which scientist explained why planets orbit the sun and moons orbit the planets?
ANSWER Sir Isak Newton was the first person to realise that the force of gravity was universal. It is Kepler motion that describes the elliptically orbits of the planets.
What scientist first pictured the atom as having electrons orbit around the nucleus as planets orbit the sun?
Niels Bohr
How old was John Glenn when he orbited the moon?
John Glenn orbited the earth, the first American to do so. He was forty at the time.
The Greek scientist Aristarchus was the first person to suggest what?
He first suggested that the Earth (and the other planets that were then known) rotated around the Sun instead of the other way around.
