The heliocentric theory became widely accepted when it was found that the Sun is by a long way the most massive object in the solar system. That happened in the 18th century.

The Ptolemaic theory is an ancient geocentric model of the universe that posited Earth as the center of the universe with other celestial bodies moving around it. It was developed by the astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD and was widely accepted until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
A theory is a widely accepted explanation based on experimental results.
The answer is a theory. A view that is not well-tested and widely accepted is just a hypothesis. A law has to be indisputable not just widely accepted
The sun-centered theory, known as heliocentrism, was confirmed by observations made by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century and further supported by the observations of Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. The idea that the Earth revolves around the sun replaced the previously widely accepted geocentric model.
It may become a theory.

The first description of the Earth as going around the "central fire" was by Aristarchus of Samos, about 2,400 years ago. Unfortunately, Aristotle's incorrect views were more widely accepted, until Nicolai Copernicus came up with a more complete description of a Sun-centered theory about 470 years ago. Copernicus published his theory in 1543
