Question

1. Why did the authorities not agree that the earth orbits the sun?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aristarchus found a Sun distance of 40 times that of the distance to the Moon. This would make the Sun also 40 times the size of the moon. His calculation was way off, but he still suggested that the Earth orbits the Sun because the Sun was so HUGE.
