What is the theory?

The heliocentric theory is one which all planets revolve around the sun. Prior to this, there was a theory where all planets, including the sun, revolved around Earth. Galileo proved this theory to be false and proposed this heliocentric theory.

Do inner planets move?

Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.


What is one scientific theory that has changed?

Do all planets move around the sun or around the earth?

The planets that make part of the solar system move around the Sun. The huge gravity power of the Sun maintain all planets and moons orbiting around it on an elliptical form.


in which path did all planets move around in which path did all the planets move around?

Each planet moves in its own elliptical orbit round the Sun, then and now.


Who was credited with planets move around sun?

Nicolaus Copernicus (always referred to by just his last name) created the "Heliocentric Theory" which says that all of the planets revolve around the sun, in 1543. This challenged the belief that the earth was the center of the universe and was not accepted until about 1700.


Who conclude first that sun is fixed and all planets move around it?

Galileo Galilei concluded first after the theory was proposed by another scientist. But the scientist was forced to drink poison as it challenges the Christians' religious belief that the Earth is the center of the universe and all planets including the sun, move around it. Galileo then withdraw his statement and agrees with the Christian as he was afarid he would suffer the same fate. Thefore making Galileo the unofficially conclude the theory.


Who was Nicholas Copernicus and how did he change astronomy?

Copernicus is famous as the first scientist to re-examine the theory of the planets and how they move among the stars. He produced a new theory explaining how the planets move around, published in 1543. It raised questions about the ancient theory of Ptolemy, who had said the Earth was at the centre of the universe. Copernicus realised that the motions of the planets were better explained by putting the Sun at the centre with all the planets going round it. This is known as the heliocentric hypothesis. The theory was eventually discarded in favour of Kepler's theory of 1609, but Copernicus has the credit for starting the ball rolling and encouraging people to think about the problem.


What diriction do planets orbit around the sun?

That depends from what direction you look.As seen from the north - the way it is usually depicted - all planets move clockwise around the Sun.Of course, if you observe from the south, the planets would move counterclockwise around the Sun.


Why do all the planets orbit?

Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.


Which planets move in an elliptical orbit?

All the planets move with an elliptical orbit, but with a very low eccentricity.
