The geocentric theory was held not just before 1543, but before the 1600s. It was a scientific belief and a theory that stated the Earth was the center of the universe and that everything else was held in orbit around it.

What scientist is associated with heliocentric theory of planetary rotation?

The scientist associated with the heliocentric theory of planetary rotation is Nicolaus Copernicus. He proposed that the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center of the universe, with the Earth and other planets orbiting around it. This revolutionary idea was detailed in his work "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," published in 1543, and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Copernicus' theory challenged the long-held geocentric view that placed the Earth at the center of the universe.

In his work "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," published in 1543, he proposed a heliocentric model, stating that the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center of the universe, with the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. This revolutionary idea challenged the long-held belief in an Earth-centered cosmos and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy.
