The sun-centered theory, known as heliocentrism, was confirmed by observations made by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century and further supported by the observations of Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. The idea that the Earth revolves around the sun replaced the previously widely accepted geocentric model.
Galileo.
Galileo challenged church teachings by saying that the heliocentric model of the universe was trueThe Catholic Church charged him with heresy. Due to his support of the heliocentric or sun centered theory. Which directly opposed the Church accepted theory that the sun and planets revolved around the earth.
The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
The sun-centered model of the solar system states that the planetes orbit the sun. In this model, everything in the solar system orbits the sun and so the sun is the center, hence the name. While all scientists accept this model today, there was a long period of time where people believed that everything in the solar system orbited the Earth. This was called the geocentric model of the solar system.

The Heliocentric theory.

Based on my teacher Nicolaus Copernicus is the one who develop that theory....
No Nicolaus Copernicus did not believe in the earth centered theory he believed that the earth and other planets center and revolve around the sun.
He was an anatomist, and had nothing to do with Astronomy. Nicholas Copernicus was the first person to produce a heliocentric (sun centered) theory, but most people rejected it at the time because experts believed that Earth was the center of everything. Tycho Brahe accepted his theory though, and created an observatory. He provided evidence of Copernicus's theory.

that the world was heliocentric not geocentric aka sun centered universe and earth centered universe
Galileo's most significant observation and discovery was that the universe (or now the solar system) was Sun-Centered. Originally, people accepted the Copernican theory that the universe was Earth-centered. For a few years Galileo had to defend his discover until 1616.
