Pythagoras
Aristotle is correct (from SOS)
Galileo thought planets revolved around the sun because when he observed Jupiter, he noticed that its moons revolved around Jupiter and not earth. So everything else led up to that the Earth revolved around the sun.
When it was believed that the planets revolved around the Earth, the planetary paths were plotted and were erratic and did not comply with the laws of motion and gravity as we now understand them. That was overlooked by the believers in an Earth centered Solar System.When the Sun centered Solar System was theorized by Copernicus, the paths of the planets around the Sun became organized into relatively circular (or elliptical). Much simpler, and following the Laws of Motion as proposed by Newton.
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.
Earth has revolved around the sun.
It take one yaer for the earth to revole around the sun .
Aristarchus found out the planets revolved around the sun, not he sun revolved around Earth.
Eudoxus thought that the planets revolved around the Earth not the Sun.
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)
Nicolaus Copernicus.
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.
He discovered that the planets revolved around the sun instead of the planets & the sun revolving around Earth.
He knew that the planets revolved around the sun in an elliptical orbit.
galileo did because he proved that all the planets revolved around the sun......NOT THE EARTH!!
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.
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.

Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.
