Geocentric model that was prevalent in the middle ages said that the Earth was in the center of the solar system (in fact of the universe) and all other planets revolved around it. Modern science says that in the solar system the Sun is at the center and all its planets revolve around it.
At the center of the solar system is the Sun, a star that contains about 99.8% of the solar system's mass. The Sun's gravitational force holds all the planets, moons, asteroids, and other objects in orbit around it.
Ptolemy.
Yes. A solar system, by definition, is a system of objects orbiting a central star. The central star of said system is called a sun.(Note that a common misconception is that the sun of our solar system, Sol, is named "Sun.")
They believed in a heliocentric universe. This meaning that the earth was not the center of the universe, but that the sun was. However, many people , including the church, did not agree with this theory. Instead they believed in a geocentric universe. Plato and Aristotle believed in this theory.

it means that Copernicus ( the discoverer ) felt as if the sun is the center of the universe. ptolemy and Copernicus bumped heads for years because ptolemy belived that the earth was the center of the universe

Gallileo
The Earth-centered or "geo-centric" model.

Copernicus
Aristotle
Well the sun is in the center of our solar system. People have said that in about 5 billion years the sun will dime and that it will expand and eat Mercury and Venus and that Earth will have to much heat.
No one .. It was the other way around the church taught that bull.. I believe it was Copernicus that said the sun was the center of the solar system and for fear of the church didn't publish his work till the end of his life
God Himself made all the universe, and everything that is in it. Comment: You probably mean Copernicus.
Nicolaus Copernicus first said that but when he did at first no one believed him until sometime after his death.
