Who proposed the circular orbits of the planets around the sun in the 1500s?
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model with circular orbits of the planets around the Sun in the 1500s. His work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," laid the foundation for the Copernican Revolution in astronomy.

In the 1500s who further developed the heliocentric explanation for the motion of the planets?
