Nicolaus Copernicus was the astronomer who first proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, where the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. His work "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
Nicholaus Copernicus first hypothesized that the sun is the center of the universe and planets revolve around it with his heliocentric model. Kepler discovered ellipses (the orbits of of the planets with the sun at one focus).

The belief that the Earth revolves around the Sun was proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the early 16th century. However, it was the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei who faced the Inquisition for supporting this heliocentric model in the 17th century.

It said that the Earth was in the center and the Sun, Moon, and other planets revolved around it. But this theory was wrong.

The first model of the solar system was the geocentric model that said that the planets revolved around the earth. All of the calculations came out correct, so when Galileo came up with his heliocentric model of the universe, he got much resistance. The heliocentric model said that the planets revolved around the sun. Also, Galileo thought that the planets revolved in perfect circles, which threw off his calculations. It turned out that the planets revolved in ellipses, and once this was discovered, the calculations panned out. This is considered a paradigm shift, going from one widely accepted view to another. This has set the stage for many subsequent paradigm shifts.
Galileo Galilei.
I think it would depend on who you asked. A serf might say life revolved about his lord. The lord might say life revolved around the king. The king might have said live revolved around the pope. And a pope might have said life properly revolved around the congregation, which was mostly made up of serfs.
Galileo, I think.
Yes because he went against the church. The church believed everything revolved around the Earth, but Galileo said everything revolved around the sun.
Geocentric model that was prevalent in the middle ages said that the Earth was in the center of the solar system (in fact of the universe) and all other planets revolved around it. Modern science says that in the solar system the Sun is at the center and all its planets revolve around it.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun in his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" published in 1543. This heliocentric model of the solar system challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
