Galileo Galilei championed the heliocentric theory, which posits that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, contrary to the prevailing geocentric view that placed the Earth at the center of the universe. His observations, particularly those made with a telescope, provided strong evidence for this theory, including the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. Galileo's support of heliocentrism ultimately led to significant conflict with the Catholic Church, which upheld the geocentric model. His work laid the groundwork for modern astronomy and challenged established scientific and religious doctrines of his time.
What else can I help you with?

What is Galileo theory of falling object and how did he test it?
Galileo dropped it from a tower in then it feel at the same rate
Which statement describes the controversy by Galileo's heliocentric theory?
Galileo did not propose a heliocentric theory, he agreed with Copernicus and his heliocentric theory. The Catholic church, at the time, disagreed and they held a huge amount of power and put him on trial.
How was Galileo's heliocentric theory controversial?
Church officials believed the theory contradicted current religious teachings
How does Galileo's theory compare to what we believe of the rotation of the Earth today?
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.
