that Earth and all the planets revolve around the Sun
Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.

The sun-centered universe model is known as the heliocentric model, with the Sun as the center around which the planets orbit. This model was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, challenging the prevailing geocentric model that placed Earth at the center of the universe.
No, Copernicus was Polish. Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer and mathematician who formulated the heliocentric model of the universe. He was born in 1473 in the Kingdom of Poland.

Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, with the Sun at the center and the planets orbiting around it, while Ptolemy's model placed the Earth at the center. By providing a simpler explanation for planetary motion and accurately predicting the positions of celestial bodies, Copernicus's model challenged the complexity of Ptolemy's geocentric theory and gained acceptance over time.
No, that was what the scriptures said, but Copernicus's model, also promoted by Galileo, had the Sun at the centre instead.
Both Copernicus' and Ptolemy's models aimed to explain the motion of celestial bodies in the sky. However, Copernicus placed the Sun at the center of the universe, while Ptolemy's model had Earth at the center. Both models used the concept of epicycles to explain the retrograde motion of planets.
