Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Eratosthenes, Immanuel Kant and Edwin Hubble are some of the thinkers who gave theories about the origin of Earth.

Explanation:

  • There are a lot of theories about the origin with the more recent ones stating that the earth is in fact flat.
  • It was Galileo who discovered that earth is spherical. In the 4th Century, philosophers like Plato and Aristotle wrote theories regarding the model of earth being geocentric.
  • According to the philosopher Plato, the earth was spherical in shape.
  • According to Aristotle, Moon was touching the realm of this planet.
  • Another model known as the Ptolemaic model stated that the movement of each planet was facilitated by two distinct spheres, one being the different and one being the epicycle.
  • All these scientists and philosophers are equally responsible for the knowledge we imbibe today about earth.
