the notion that the earth was the centre of the solar system (and indeed the universe) was an assumption by ancient civilisations and all scientists seem to have agreed with this idea until Galileo Galilei noticed that this was not the case and published his idea but it was not instantly accepted because the bible was based on ancient ideas and as a result the roman catholic church attempted to stop the spread of this idea because it dissagreed with many of the verses in The Bible.
it was probaly this assumption that everything in the bible was true that made it take so long for anyone to think to question it.
it is worth noting that Galileo was a devout catholic and was not trying to challenge the church.

Which scientist said that the sun is the centre of the solar system?
Nicolaus Copernicus!
Who was imprisoned because his idea was that the earth was the center of the solar system?
No one .. It was the other way around the church taught that bull.. I believe it was Copernicus that said the sun was the center of the solar system and for fear of the church didn't publish his work till the end of his life
Who proposed that the sun is at the center of the solar system?
Nicolaus Copernicus first said that but when he did at first no one believed him until sometime after his death.
He said that the sun is the center of the solar system?
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.
Why do you think people didn't believe the theory of continental drift when Wegener first explained it?
why do you think people didn't believe copernicus and galileo when they said the earth wasn't in the center of the solar system
Does each solar system have a sun?
Yes. A solar system, by definition, is a system of objects orbiting a central star. The central star of said system is called a sun.(Note that a common misconception is that the sun of our solar system, Sol, is named "Sun.")
How did corpernicus think the solar system worked?
The Copernican Theory said that the Sun was the centre of the solar system, not the Earth. The only error he made was that the orbits were perfectly circular. Keplar corrected this by showing the orbits were ellipses.
Did Pluto is still in your solar system?
No Pluto isn't a planet anymore. Scientists said its too small to be counted as a Planet.
Are there any gas planets in our solar system?
Yes, there are four gas planets:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneThe other four planets are known as terrestrial planets. The gas giants in our Solar System are also called the outer planets because they are the four planets in the Solar System furthest from the Sun. Gas planets are a category of planets without any solid metals or rock. Gas planets are also referred to as gas giants, giant planets, and Jovian planets. Since gas planets do not have a solid surface, you would not be able to walk on them. Gas planets are said to have a rocky center; however, that term is somewhat misleading. Scientists believe that due to the high temperatures and extreme pressures in the center of gas planets their rocky centers are actually liquid metal or rock. Thus, the density of the gas planets simply increases as you go deeper to the center.
Who said that the sun centered of solar system and all planet?
God Himself made all the universe, and everything that is in it. Comment: You probably mean Copernicus.
How do dinosaurs have names as scientist were not alive then?
named by the scientist who found the fossil evidence of said creature
What is earth's function as it relates to the solar system?
Earth is a terrestrial planet that orbits the star Sol. It is the third planet orbiting said star, and the only one known to hold complex life. However, due to its relatively small mass, Earth does not play a significant part in its solar system.
Are the inner planets small or big?
Small, considering the rest of the planets. But in actuality they are large. As said before, in accordance with the rest of the planets in our Solar system, yes they are small.
What would you say if someone said to describe an atom?
The mechanical model shows the nucleus surrounded by electrons similar to the solar system. The quantum model shows a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons shaped like a doughnut.
During a total solar eclipse what does the moon or the earth block out?
It just happened a week ago and they said it was the sun
Where is the headlight relay on a 99 Nissan Quest?
some people said is under the center console.
Does the same thing that keep your solar system together keep the universe together?
Your question is hard to answer because of the nature of the two structures. The solar system is defined as sol, our sun, and all of the things that orbit it. Gravity, obviously, keeps all of these things together. The universe, however, is a broad term that describes everything that 'is'. It isn't just the objects within the universe, such as galaxies and nebulae, but time and space itself, among many other things. As a short and remotely meaningful answer to your question, based on what I said, the answer is 'no', at our current understanding of physics.
