In the 17th century, the planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered. Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1781, while Neptune was identified in 1846 through mathematical predictions rather than direct observation. Although both were discovered after the early 17th century, the telescope's invention in that period allowed for advancements in astronomical observations leading to their eventual discovery.
The two scientists who are most famously associated with the heliocentric view are Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei. Copernicus proposed the model in the 16th century, suggesting that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. Galileo later provided critical observational evidence for this model in the early 17th century, using his telescope to observe celestial phenomena that supported the heliocentric theory. Their contributions were pivotal in challenging the geocentric view of the universe.
The solar system is found between the orbits of two planets, with the innermost known planet being Mercury and the outermost known planet being Neptune. The solar system also consists of other celestial bodies such as dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
Two types of planets in our solar system are terrestrial planets, such as Earth and Mars, which are rocky and have solid surfaces, and gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, which are predominantly made of gases like hydrogen and helium.
In our solar system, Mercury and Venus are the two planets which do not have moons.
Mercury Venus Earth and Mars are all the inner planets.
Two mathematical innovations in the 17th Century were the slide rule and algorithms.

The century is calculated by dropping the last two digits and adding 1 to what's left. 1665 -> 1665 -> 16 -> +1 -> 17th Century
In the 17th century, the British began to colonize North America and South America. It would not be until the 19th century that the British would acquire large land-holdings in Africa and Asia.
One invention in the 17th century that significantly altered the way people saw their world was the microscope. The other invention was the telescope.

Considering that there were no democracies for the entire 17th century and all but the last two decades of the 18th century, but there were absolutist states during those periods, absolutism wins by default.
