Do the planets revolve around the direct center of the sun?
The center of the orbit is between them in proportion to their masses. But the mass of the sun is so much larger compared to the mass of the planets that to a casual observer they do revolve around the center of the sun. Because planets don't orbit the exact center of stars, astronomers can see stars that "wobble" and can tell they have planets orbiting them. They will also get an idea of the period of those planets' revolutions around the star.
What scientist was the first to suggest that earth and other planets in the solar system revolve around the sun?

Is the sun the star at the center of our universe?
NO ... it is the center of our solar system. That is, all our local planets revolve around it. Our solar system revolves around the center of the galaxy, about once every 220 million years. As for the universe itself, it has no center. Imagine the surface of a soap bubble. Where is its center? The surface HAS no center, as our universe may be geometrically represented by the surface of an expanding sphere.
what is the difference between Geocentric view and Heliocentric veiw?
