Many scientists believed this. Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to propose this idea however, and many other scientists believed in his theory as well, such as Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and so on.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun in his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" published in 1543. This heliocentric model of the solar system challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
Earth has revolved around the sun.
Most ancient astronomers thought that all celestial objects revolved around the Earth, due to the geocentric model of the universe. This belief was held until the heliocentric model was proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos but Aristarchus's heliocentrism (the theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun) attracted little attention until a scientist named Copernicus revived and elaborated it. Galileo further proved to the world that Earth revolved around the Sun, and gradually as people invented greater technologies, this theory became scientific law.
Ptolemy believed in a geocentric model of the universe, in which Earth was at the center and the planets and sun revolved around it in circular orbits. He also developed mathematical theories to explain the motion of celestial bodies.
he discovered that the earth revolved around the sun (heliocentricity) and at that time everyone believed that the sun/planets revolved around the earth (geocentricity)
Yes because he went against the church. The church believed everything revolved around the Earth, but Galileo said everything revolved around the sun.
Almost all scientists and mathematicians until the Renaissance.
Before the Renaissance, people believed the planets and the sun revolved around the Earth. During the Renaissance, Copernicus discovered and that the Earth and the planets revolved around the sun.
many people believed that everything revolved around the earth but some believed everything revolved around the sun and now r famous for the unit space for example Corpernicus.
Aristrachus of SamosThe first man to theorize that the Earth revolved around the sun is believed to be Nicolas Copernicus. In the 1500s he speculated that rather than the sun circling the Earth, the Earth may actually orbit the sun.

Nicolaus Copernicus who was not Muslim developed the model of the solar system where the Earth revolved around the Sun
Yes, by his time, the geocentric model was no longer widely accepted and nearly every scientist agreed that the Earth revolved around the sun.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun in his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" published in 1543. This heliocentric model of the solar system challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
Nicolaus Copernicus believed that the planets revolved around the sun. At the time, it was believed that the sun and planets revolved around Earth. Because of this, when after his works were published (which didn't happen until just before he died), followers of Copernicus were considered heretics.
Most ancient civilizations believed that everything revolved around the earth and in most cases they believed the earth to be flat. Also, it may have based around the religion of the civilization.
