What does word heliocentric mean?
Literally "with the Sun at the center".
What does heliocentric mean and how does it affect us?
Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the earth and planets revolve around the Sun in the center of the Solar System. Heliocentric is the adjective describing this system.
What scienctist studied the 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.
Does the heliocentric view oppose creation?
For me, it depends on what you mean by the heliocentric view. If it is that the Sun is at the centre and the planets revolve around it, then, no, the Creationist view and the Heliocentric view are not in conflict. It's only when you start looking into theories of how the Sun/planets and in fact the universe started that you can get conflict..
Which statement describes the controversy by Galileo's heliocentric theory?
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.
