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.

I have school on pa cyber i was wondering the same thing
by a theory of the BIG BANG explosion and the HELIOCENTRIC theory,that until now is being believe
Copernicus's theory was called the Heliocentric Theory. It said that the Earth and planets orbited around the sun, and the Sun was the center of the universe. The previous theory, mainly advocated by the Catholic Church, was called the Geocentric Theory; which stated that the Sun and planets orbited around the Earth, and that the Earth was the center of the Universe.
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.
heliocentric theory
If you mean what scientist created the heliocentric theory, it was Nicolaus Copernicus. Based on astronomical observations, he determined that the Ptolemaic geocentric theory was incorrect, and replaced it with his own heliocentric theory, which placed the sun at the center of the universe, and had planets orbiting the sun.
copernicus coined the heliocentric theory...
The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.
Geocentric theory
Geocentric theory
Brane theory is not a cosmological model but a theoretical framework in theoretical physics that suggests the existence of additional dimensions beyond the known four dimensions (three of space and one of time). It is not related to the geocentric or heliocentric nature of the solar system.
ME.
Galileo did not propose a heliocentric theory, he agreed with Copernicus and his heliocentric theory. The Catholic church, at the time, disagreed and they held a huge amount of power and put him on trial.
Copernicus discovered the heliocentric theory in 1510 and worked on it for four more years.
He was a Polish mathematician who disagreed with Ptolemy's view that the earth is the center of the universe. The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.
