∙ 12y agoJohannes Kepler, a German scientist, provided the mathematical framework and evidence to support Copernicus' heliocentric theory. Kepler's laws of planetary motion helped confirm that the Earth and other planets revolve around the sun.

The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, with the Sun at the center and the planets orbiting around it, while Ptolemy's model placed the Earth at the center. By providing a simpler explanation for planetary motion and accurately predicting the positions of celestial bodies, Copernicus's model challenged the complexity of Ptolemy's geocentric theory and gained acceptance over time.
No, Galileo believed in the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, where the Earth revolves around the Sun. His support for this theory was one of the key reasons for his conflict with the Catholic Church.
Nicolaus Copernicus is credited with developing the heliocentric theory, in which he proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This was a revolutionary idea during the 16th century when the prevailing belief was that the Earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus' work laid the foundation for the later advancements in astronomy made by scientists like Galileo and Kepler.
The heliocentric theory was originated by Copernicus.
Nicolaus Copernicus
The heliocentric theory originates with Copernicus.
Copernicus thought that is was heliocentric theory ( that the earth revolves around the sun) and Brahe thought that it was geocentric ( that everything revolves aroung the earth )
As far as we know, it was copernicus who first postulated this.
Contrary to most people of the 14th Century, Copernicus believed that the Earth revolved around the sun. Galileo later proved Copernicus' theory to be correct.
