Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system and that the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun in circular orbits. This heliocentric model challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
You're living in the past :/. The sun does not set, it is stationary (but rotates on itself). The view of the sun simply changes as the Earth turns. From our point of view, it sets in the west.
Yes, the Church generally accepted Ptolemy's geocentric view of the solar system during the Middle Ages. This view placed Earth at the center of the universe and was in line with the Church's teachings at the time. It was not until the work of Copernicus and Galileo that heliocentrism became more accepted.

The Copernican model, proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, states that the Earth and other planets orbit the sun, which is at the center of the solar system. This heliocentric model overturned the prevailing geocentric view that placed Earth at the center of the universe. Copernicus's model laid the foundation for modern astronomy and our understanding of the solar system.
Geocentric: Earth is center of the solar system. Heliocentric: Sun is the centre of the solar system.
He followed Copernicus's model of the solar system which places the Sun at the center of the solar system instead of the Earth.
The moon and the solar system. When the moons blocks the sun from an Earth view, it is a solar eclipse. When the sun blocks the moon from an Earth view, it is a lunar eclipse.
he thought the sun was in the center of the solar system, and that all the other planets and Earth orbited around it
By definition, a geographic information system (GIS) is a computer application used to store, view, and analyze geographical information. Google Earth is such a system.

Google Earth carries out street view mapping by using images collected by; Ariel photography, satellite imagery and GIS (Geographic information system) 3D globe.
Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth launched in 2007.
Copernicus' view was that the sun was the centre of the solar system. He believed everything revolved around the sun in circular orbits. Ptolmey on the other hand placed a static Earth at the centre with the planets and the sun orbiting the earth.Copernicus thought that the solar system revolved around the sun and not the Earth.
Google Earth and Google Maps are great tools to view high-resolution satellite imagery of the Earth.
