Copernicus.
Aristarchus of Samos was the first known to present the notion of the heliocentric model in 3rd century BC, but Copernicus (whose contributions are considered to be the beginning of modern astronomy) is most famous for championing this model in the 16th century.

Who reintroduced the idea of a heliocentric universe after Aristarchus?
Answer: -Ptolemy
When did aristarchus of samos propose his heliocentric model why wasn't it accpted at the time?
Aristarchus of Samos proposed his heliocentric model in the 3rd century BCE, around 240 BC. His model suggested that the Earth and other planets revolved around the Sun, with the Earth itself rotating on its axis. However, Aristarchus' heliocentric model was not widely accepted during his time, and there were several reasons for this: Lack of direct evidence: Aristarchus' heliocentric model was a radical departure from the prevailing geocentric model, which held that the Earth was at the center of the universe and all celestial bodies, including the Sun, orbited around it. Aristarchus' model lacked direct observational evidence to support it, and the apparent motion of the stars and planets seemed to align more closely with the geocentric model. Limited understanding of celestial mechanics: In Aristarchus' time, the understanding of celestial mechanics was not as advanced as it would become in later centuries. The concept of elliptical orbits and gravitational forces, which later helped explain planetary motion in a heliocentric model, had not been developed. Philosophical and religious beliefs: The geocentric model was deeply rooted in ancient philosophical and religious beliefs. The idea of Earth being at the center of the universe was consistent with the notion of humans being the central and most important beings in creation. Aristarchus' heliocentric model challenged this worldview, making it harder for people to accept. Lack of telescopic technology: The heliocentric model gained more support after the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. The telescope allowed astronomers like Galileo Galilei to make more detailed observations of the planets, providing evidence that supported the heliocentric model. However, during Aristarchus' time, telescopic technology was not available, so he could not provide the observational evidence needed to convince others of his model's validity. As a result of these factors, Aristarchus' heliocentric model was largely ignored and overshadowed by the geocentric model for many centuries. It wasn't until the work of Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century and later advancements in astronomy that the heliocentric model gained wider acceptance and eventually became the prevailing view of the solar system.
When was the theory that the Sun goes around Earth replaced?
It is not that simple. It is clear that the notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC (by Aristarchus of Samos). However, the the geocentric model was the one that held sway for over 1500 years and it was not until the 16th century when a geometric mathematical model of a heliocentric system was presented, (by the Renaissance mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus) that the heliocentric model became generally accepted.
Who was the ancient Greek that developed a geocentric model of the universe explaining the observable motions of the planets?
Galileo Galilei wasthe ancient Greek who developed a geocentric model.
Who theorized that the planets revolved around the sun?
Pythagoras Aristotle is correct (from SOS)
Who proposed a heliocentric model of the universe in which the planets revolve at different speeds around the sun?
Aristarchus of Samos
Who confirmed copernicus' heliocentric theory?
Aristarchus of Samos
What scientist proposed a heliocentric model of the universe and the theory was rejected?
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.
Who proposed the first heliocentric model of the solar system?
Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, about 2300 years ago.
What ancient astronomer developed a model of the universe?
Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, was the first person (that we know of) to propose the idea that the Earth circles the Sun
Who reintroduced the idea of a heliocentric universe after Aristarchus?
Answer: -Ptolemy
Did The idea of a heliocentric view of the solar system originated with Copernicus?
Rejected by his contemporaries and ignored for 18 centuries, Aristarchus of Samos proposed the first serious model of a heliocentric solar system. You may read about it in Archimedes' book, "The Sand Reckoner".

Who was the promoter of the heliocentric theory?
In ancient Greece, Aristarchus of Samos suggested it. The theory was proposed in more modern times by Copernicus.
Who is Aristarchus full name?
Aristarchus of Samos
Who first presented the model of the solar system?
The earliest known person to have proposed a heliocentric model was the Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos, about 300BCE. His views were not widely adopted, because the more "obviously correct" views of Aristotle prevailed.
Where did Aristarchus of Samos live?
He lived on the Greek island of Samos.
