Nicolaus Copernicus

Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. This model positioned the Sun at the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it in circular paths, modified by epicycles, and at uniform speeds.

Answer:

Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Universe. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center.

Explanation:

Heliocentrism[a] is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Universe. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos,[1] but at least in the medieval world, Aristarchus' heliocentrism attracted little attention—possibly because of the loss of scientific works of the Hellenistic period.{{efn|According to Lucio Russo, the heliocentric view was expounded in Hipparchus' work on gravity.
