Nicolas Copernicus studied the sun by observing its motion and position in the sky over time. He used a technique called heliocentrism, which suggested that the sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system. Copernicus' observations and mathematical calculations led to his development of the heliocentric model of the solar system.
