heliocentric, where the sun is placed at the centre and all other planets orbit it
Copernicium is named after astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus is known for formulating the heliocentric model of the universe, which places the Sun at the center of the solar system, a significant departure from the prevailing geocentric model at the time.
Although there were several thinkers which proposed something like the heliocentric model before him, Copernicus is identified most with the idea; and it took his name, the Copernican system, contrasting with the geocentric model that identified Earth as the center, known as the Ptolemaic model.
Galileo Galilei was the Italian astronomer who supported Copernicus's theories by using his own observations through a telescope to provide evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system.
The geocentric model places Earth at the center of the solar system, with planets and stars revolving around it. This model was widely accepted until the heliocentric model, which has the Sun at the center, was proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
The sun-centered model of the solar system states that the planetes orbit the sun. In this model, everything in the solar system orbits the sun and so the sun is the center, hence the name. While all scientists accept this model today, there was a long period of time where people believed that everything in the solar system orbited the Earth. This was called the geocentric model of the solar system.
A geocentric model of the solar system. Which is incorrect.
