Aristotle had thought that the Earth was the Geo-centric or the center of the universe and everything circled or revolved around it. Copernicus thought that the Sun is the center of the universe. Copernicus' idea is called Helios-centric.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system, which deviated from the geocentric model in the Ptolemaic system. In Copernicus' model, the Sun, not Earth, was at the center of the universe, with the planets, including Earth, revolving around it.
