Aristotle is correct (From SOS)
Aristrachus of SamosThe first man to theorize that the Earth revolved around the sun is believed to be Nicolas Copernicus. In the 1500s he speculated that rather than the sun circling the Earth, the Earth may actually orbit the sun.
The first man to suggest that the Earth revolved around the Sun was the ancient Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos in the 3rd century BC. He proposed this heliocentric model, but it was not widely accepted during his time.
The first that we know of was Aristarchus of Samos, about 2400 years ago. His ideas were not widely accepted, and Aristotle's concept of an Earth-centered universe was adopted.
The earth has seasons mainly because of the tilt to the earth towards or away from the sun. Contrary to popular belief, the distance from the sun caused by Earth's elliptical orbit only makes a minuscule difference in climate.
It is the theory in which the earth is the center of the universe and that all the planets revolve around it including the sun. this theory was developed by Aristotle.Geocentric theory basically stated that the Earth was at the center of the universe, and that the sun, moon, planets, and other heavenly bodies revolved around it. This theory was believed extensively during the middle ages.

The first man to theorize that the Earth revolved around the sun was the Greek philosopher and mathematician, Aristarchus of Samos, in the 3rd century BCE. His heliocentric model of the solar system was largely ignored in favor of the geocentric model proposed by Ptolemy, until it was later revived by Copernicus in the 16th century.

A man named Nicolaus Copernicus discovered everything in our solar system revolved around the sun. This is called the heliocentric system. If you don't believe me, look in the Science Explorer Astronomy book.
The Geocentric model of the solar system proposed that the Earth was at the centre of the system (and universe), while the sun and planets revolved around the Earth. We now know this not to be true and that the sun is at the centre of the solar system (Heliocentric). This was suggested as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samo, but he received no support from other astronomers at the time. Nicolaus Copernicus later in the 16th Century proposed the helicentric model that we see true today.
