Copernicus is famous for advancing the view that the Sun is the center of the solar system, and that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. This heliocentric (sun-centered) system is contrasted with the geocentric (earth-centered) system in which the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the Sun and planets move around the Earth.
