Who published his views of Earth and other planets revolving around the Sun in 1543?

Answer 1

Nobody "discovered" that the Sun was at the centre of the Solar system.

Aristarchus of Samos, a greek philosopher and astronomer (310BC-230BC) first presented the theory that the Sun was at the centre of the solar system (heliocentrism) but his ideas were rejected in favour of the theories of Ptolemy and Aristotle that the Earth was at the centre (geocentrism).

Copernicus (1473-1543) re-raised, developed and published the heliocentric theory in the 16th Century (nearly 1800 years after Aristarchus). It was a contentious issue, and the heliocentric theory was supported by Galileo (1564-1642) but he was persecuted (tried by the Roman Church's inquisition and found guilty of heresy) till he died.

Answer 2

Some did. Others didn't.

It's probably accurate to say that the reason those who didn't didn't, was because it was new, and conflicted with what they had always been taught, and had learned to believe. In other words, it would be a nuisance to be forced to change their beliefs, as it would require thinking, and possibly discarding some comfortable ideas.

Surely you've noticed that a lot of that goes on today.

Answer 3

Well, Nicolaus Copernicus was the first person to displace the earth as not being at the center of the universe. He instead proposed that the sun was at the center of the universe. Although he was wrong, it is still pretty much the same thing.

Answer 4

Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus_Copernicusand published in 1543. It positioned the sun near the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets rotating around it in circular orbits and at uniform speeds.

Answer 5

I believe the first person to position the sun at the center of our solar system was Copernicus during the Renaissance, Years before this many astronomers believed that the Earth was the center of the Universe.

Answer 6

nicolaus Copernicus made the first theory that the sun was the center of the universe

_____________________

Actually, the FIRST person known to have written that the Earth went around the Sun was the Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos, about 2400 years ago. But Aristarchus' theories were not widely accepted, in favor of the more "obviously correct" geocentric model favored by Aristotle.

Answer 7

Number one, the political authorities were closely tied to the Church, therefore if the Church lost power and favor of the people, the politicians were likely to lose their power and lose favor of the people. Two, in the geocentric system (the Ptolemaic theory, as it was known as), there was a reserved spot outside the system of spheres, planets, and stars for Heaven. If the Church conceded that, yes, the earth does revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit, then the scientist and middle class educated people would question the location of Heaven, and eventually question the Church itself. And three, it FELT right to them; they never FELT the earth move. They only saw the sun and moon crawl across the sky. Therefore, they thought thought that they were right, and argued as such.

Answer 8

The Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos first postulated a sun-centered (heliocentric) solar system model around 300 BC. However, it was not until 1543 that a fully mathematical model was constructed by Nicolaus Copernicus.

Answer 9

Probably Ugghhh the Caveman; the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are all part of the solar system and they are tough to miss.

The ancient Sumerians and Babylonians knew about the five "classical" planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and knew that they were different from the fixed stars.

Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, is the earliest person (that we know of!) to suggest that the Sun was at the center of the solar system.

Answer 10

A lot of people believe that God created our solar system.

The heliocentric model (the sun at the centre of the solar system - as we now know to be true) was first suggested by Aristarchus of Samos in the third century BC, but it wasn't widely accepted until Nicolaus Copernicus presented it again in the 16th century.
