Several reasons, but here's a few:
1) It offered no advantage over Ptolemy's orbits. Predicting planetary motion with one or the other was about the same.
2) It did not make "sense" that such a large object as our Earth could be kept in motion. The motions of other bodies was acceptable because (it was thought) they moved in the aether, and thus could continue to move forever.
3) We on Earth did not feel any motion.
4) If our Earth moved around our Sun, then we should see some change in the position of the stars in relation to our Sun -- but we don't. Indeed, the first record of detecting such a change was not until 1823.
5) Artistic and phenomenological descriptions of our Earth in The Bible indicated that it stood still.
Tycho Brahe was the most brilliant astronomer of his time, but he rejected heliocentrism based on #4.

Copernicus discovered the heliocentric theory in 1510 and worked on it for four more years.

He was a Polish mathematician who disagreed with Ptolemy's view that the earth is the center of the universe. The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.

Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the geocentric theory and presented the heliocentric theory. The heliocentric system placed the sun at the center of the universe.

Copernicus was the first to propose the Heliocentric theory, the correct theory that the Sun, not the Earth, is the center of the solar system.
The heliocentric theory was originated by Copernicus.
