What kind of theory is it when the earth revolves around the sun?

Answer 1

The heliocentric theory was originated by Copernicus.

Answer 2

That theory is called the heliocentric theory, which states that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun in our solar system. This theory contrasts with the geocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth was the center of the universe.

Answer 3

Its the 'heliocentric' model. 'Helios' means sun in Greek, while 'centric' means centre. This theory has now been shown to be true and is largely accepted as fact. The `Geocentric` model of the sun revolving around the earth, with the earth at the centre has been dismissed.

Answer 4

In the 16th century there were two competing systems, the heliocentric (Sun centered) and geocentric (Earth centered), to describe the motion of the Earth, Sun, moon and planets.

Five hundred years ago people thought the Earth was a stationary solid and unmoving body and the moon, stars and Sun revolved around the Earth. That was called the geocentric, or Earth centered, system.

Nicolaus Copernicus published the statement of his heliocentric, or sun centered, system in his book, De Revolutionibus, in 1543. In the heliocentric theory, the Sun is unmoving at the center of the universe and the stars and Earth orbits around the Sun. The moon still orbits around the Earth, however.

Answer 5

Heliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is stationary and at the center of the universe, hence, the theory that the earth revolves around it.

Answer 6

As far as we know, it was copernicus who first postulated this.

Answer 7

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543, Polish) began a new era of astronomy when he concluded that the Sun was the center of the universe instead of the Earth.

Answer 8

This is known as the heliocentric theory, first proposed by Aristarchus two millenia ago.

Answer 9

The theory is precisely that: that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Answer 10

Heliocentric
