The heliocentric model.
The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
No! It is heliocentric, or sun centered.
The idea of a sun-centered model of the solar system was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos, in the 3rd century BCE. Known as heliocentrism, this concept challenged the prevailing geocentric model that placed Earth at the center of the universe.
A sun-centered solar system is called a heliocentric solar system. In a heliocentric system, the Sun is at the center and the planets, including Earth, orbit around it. This model was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, replacing the earlier geocentric model where Earth was believed to be the center of the universe.
Heliocentric means sun-centered.
That idea is called heliocentric.
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.
