Galileo did not have his own theory, he was a strong supporter of the Copernican theory, which was a model that contained circles and epicycles, just like Ptolemy's ancient model, but with the Sun at the centre and the Earth in an orbit between the orbits of Venus and Mars.

Galileo promoted the theory not only as a scientific theory, which the Vatican supported, but he maintained it was the absolute truth, which got him into trouble.

At the same time as Galileo, Kepler brought out the improved model with elliptical orbits, which was generally accepted as the best model many years later.

What evidence supports the theory of Earth's rotation?

The theory of Earth's rotation is supported by several pieces of evidence. One key piece of evidence is the Coriolis effect, which causes moving objects on Earth to curve due to the planet's rotation. Another piece of evidence is the difference in day and night caused by the rotation of Earth on its axis. Additionally, the flattening of the Earth at the poles and bulging at the equator is also evidence of Earth's rotation.
