Johannes 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.
Nicolaus Copernicus
The astronomical telescope.
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.
The theory that the earth revolves around the sun is heliocentrism.
