He stated that the Sun is the center of the solar system and he argued that Earth rotates on its axis.

Explanation:

  • Aristarchus of Samos (c. 310 - c. 230 BCE) was an ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer from Ionia who came up with a revolutionary astronomical hypothesis.
  • He claimed the Sun, not the Earth, was the fixed centre of the universe, and that the Earth, along with the rest of the planets, revolved around the Sun.
  • He also said that the stars were distant suns that remained unmoved and that the size of the universe was much larger than his contemporaries believed.
  • He also argued that the Sun and stars moves across the sky because the Earth revolves upon its axis, which causes us to see days and nights.
