No, Aristarchus of Samos proposed a heliocentric model of the universe with the Sun at the center and the Earth revolving around it. This idea was contrary to the prevalent geocentric model at the time.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Johannes Kepler replaced circles with ellipses in the heliocentric model of the universe.
Aristotle was the first to develop a geocentric theory. But it is generally accepted that the Greek astronomer Ptolemy provided the most elaborated model of the geocentric view of the universe in which the Earth was the center. This idea lasted for centuries until the time of Copernicus.

Nicolaus Copernicus
A model of the universe is known as a cosmological model. These models aim to describe the structure, origins, and evolution of the universe based on various principles and observations. Astrophysicists develop and refine these models to better understand the vast expanse of space and time.
Aristotle did not develop the geocentric model; it was proposed by earlier Greek astronomers. Aristotle supported this model in his work "On the Heavens" around the 4th century BCE, arguing that Earth was at the center of the universe.
Ptolemy The correct answer is Copernicus. I just took the test.

Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.

This model of the universe placed the Earth at the center of the universe
Galileo is famous for observing and proving his heliocentric model of the universe. After his observation the existing model of the universe was slowly phased out.
