Heliocentricism was first proposed by Aristarchus of Samos (circa. 270 BCE), who concluded the Sun was hundreds of thousands of times larger than Earth and was the center of a system in which the Earth revolved around it. His work is largely lost today.
In the 16th century, however, Nicholaus Copernicus formulated a heliocentric model of the solar system in which the Sun was at the center. Known as the "Father of Modern Astronomy," Copernicus's work was fundamental in establishing controversial ideas of the Earth revolving around the Sun, and gave substance to Aristarchus's earlier theory. Though Copernicus stirred up controversy, his publication of the book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), he began what was known as the Copernican Revolution and contributed to the scientific revolution. His book is often considered a major mark in the history of science.

The original idea (at least, the earliest of which we're aware) that the Earth circled the Sun was proposed by Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek astronomer and mathematician. But the Aristotle's idea that the Sun circled the Earth was more "obviously apparent" and became accepted as fact. The reintroduction of the heliocentric theory by Copernicus, supported by more accurate celestial observations, came almost 1700 years later.
