Detailed explanation-1: -Copernican heliocentrism is 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus detailed his radical theory of the Universe in which the Earth, along with the other planets, rotated around the Sun. His theory took more than a century to become widely accepted.
Detailed explanation-3: -Copernicus adopted a heliocentric view because it better explained the motions of the heavens mathematically. This view had the Earth and other planets moving in circles around the fixed Sun.
