Who was the first to propose Earth moved around the sun.?

Answer 1

Copernicus.

In the 1500s Polish scientist Copernicus upset the standard belief of his time that the Sun and planets revolve around the Earth. He said the planets went around the Sun.

The earth was known to be round as early as 7th century B.C. The answer to your question is unknown

Answer 2

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos was the first to propose that the Earth revolves around the Sun instead of the other way around. He suggested this heliocentric model in the 3rd century BC.

Answer 3

Copernicus was generally acknowledged as the first one who proved and formulated the heliocentric system, where the sun replaces the earth as the center of the universe, and the earth is one of the planets revolving around the sun.

Answer 4

The concept that earth orbits the sun exists in writing more than 2400 years ago. However, the first practical attempt at a mathematical model which could prove the idea came from Copernicus, published in 1543.

Additional theoretical work by Kepler (1609) and careful telescope observations by Galileo (1632) allowed them to clearly demonstrate the concept that the solar system orbited the sun (the 'heliocentric' theory).

Although the Pope (Clement VII) and Cardinals had read Copernicus work and endorsed it as excellent science, that view did not last.

The principal religious opposition to heliocentrism came from Protestant leaders Martin Luther and John Calvin. Later, the Catholic Church reversed its views and in 1633 Galileo was arrested and subjected to the Roman Inquisition, accused of heresy. He was threatened with burning if he did not apologize and recant, and spent the remainder of his life in house arrest.

Answer 5

That statement has never been 'proved'. It can't be. But it is accepted.

It's just that it explains all the motions of everything we see in the sky, better than any previous hypothesis can.
And it makes predictions about other things that turn out to be true.

None of that "proves" the hypothesis; it only allows the hypothesis to graduate to the status of "theory",
and to be the prevailing explanation until a better one comes along.

It can still be DIS-proven, in a second, if good counter-evidence is found.

That's how science works.

Answer 6

the seasons change proving that the Earth revolves around the sun

Actually the Earth doesn't revolve around the sun nor orbit it. Both the Earth and the Sun orbit the gravitational centre of the solar system which just happens to be a point inside the sun.

Answer 7

Although it was proposed as early as 200 B.C. The Polish priest scientist Nicolaus Copernicus described the possibility of the earth revolving around the sun. He was afraid to release this to the world until his death in 1543, fearing the repercussions of the Church of this era as they felt that it was so obvious that the sun revolves around the earth, just watch the sun move through the sky. It was proposed this way by the Greek, Aristotle, and again by Ptolemy for over 2,000 years. Then Galileo Galilei in 1632 brought Copernicus's argument to a head, and did incur the wrath of the Church in 1633. He was forced to recant or be tortured. He remained the last 9 years of his life in house arrest for having challenged the Church's pronouncement on this subject. He died early in 1643. The current Church apologized for their error in denouncing him well over 400 years after his death.

Answer 8

a Polish astronomer name Nicolaus Copernicus

Answer 9

The earliest published reference to a Sun-centered system was by the Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos, about 2400 years ago.

Answer 10

Copernicus said the sun was in the center and earth revolved around it , he was the first one to discover this. He also thought the planets orbited the sun in a circle but they don't
