Who created an Earth-centered theory of the universe?
Ptolemy. (his full name was Claudius Ptolemaeus).
Did Copernicus prove that the sun is the center of the universe?
No. He was the first in Western society to legitimately propose that the sun was the center, but it took others to prove it. The sun is not the center of the universe, merely the center of our solar system.
How does the heliocentric model of the universe work?
This model simply claims that Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun.It is clear, nowadays, that the Sun is the center of the "Solar System", but not of the Universe. It is also clear that the Sun is not the EXACT center - the Sun and the planets move around the center of mass of the Solar System, which is very close to the Sun due to its larger mass, compared to other objects.
