Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -While Copernicus rightly observed that the planets revolve around the Sun, it was Kepler who correctly defined their orbits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nicolaus Copernicus’s theory of heliocentrism introduced in 1543, which states that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was at the center of the solar system, dramatically altered the scientific perspective of how we view our world.
Detailed explanation-4: -He was the one who discovered the motion of uniformly accelerated objects that the objects of different masses fall at the same time. On August 21, 1609, Galileo introduced his first scientific discovery of the telescope that amazed the whole world.
Detailed explanation-5: -Albert Einstein called Galileo the “father of modern science.” Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy but lived in Florence, Italy for most of his childhood.
