People long ago believed the Earth was the biggest object in the solar system due to their limited observational capabilities and the geocentric model of the universe, which placed Earth at the center. Without advanced telescopes or a comprehensive understanding of celestial mechanics, they perceived the Sun, Moon, and stars as smaller entities orbiting around them. Additionally, the apparent size and proximity of the Earth in daily life led to a natural assumption of its primacy in the cosmos. This belief persisted until the heliocentric model and advancements in astronomy revealed the true scale of the solar system.
