The Flat Earth Society believes the earth is flat due to a range of beliefs and interpretations that they adhere to, including skepticism of scientific evidence, reliance on personal observations, and mistrust of mainstream sources of information. They often reject evidence from fields like astronomy and geology in favor of an alternative worldview that supports their belief in a flat earth.
Nicolaus Copernicus found out what happens with the Earth's movements.
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system and that the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun in circular orbits. This heliocentric model challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
That the earth revolves around the sun, not that the sun revolves around the earth.
that the earth was the center of the universe and that the earth wAS FLAT
he said the earth is not flat but round it rotates around the sun to make it day&night.
Copernicus proved that the earth is flat and that we are NOT the center of all the universe. He also proved that planets rotate around the sun. He was also a well respected astronomer.

Part of why the Copernican revolution was so important is because it changed how people viewed the word. Before Copernicus, they believed in Ptolemy, who thought that the earth was flat.
Flat earth believers are almost exclusively motivated by religion or by conspiracy theory beliefs.
Everyone thought that the sun orbits the Earth and all other planets but Copernicus studied the ski carefully. He found out that the Earth and all other Planets orbits the sun and the earth is not the centre of the universe. The sun is.
Centuries ago, people believed that the Earth was flat and the center of the universe due to limited understanding and observation. However, scientific advancements, such as Galileo's observations and Copernicus' heliocentric model, eventually demonstrated that the Earth is spherical and orbits the sun. This paradigm shift in understanding the natural world led to the acceptance of the Earth's true place in the cosmos.
yes
Earth was flat
In the past, people believed the earth was flat and the center of the universe. These beliefs were influenced by religious and cultural teachings, as well as limited scientific understanding. It was not until the 16th century that the heliocentric model was proposed by Copernicus, challenging these long-held beliefs.
