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: -The Copernican heliocentric model was the first widely accepted idea that the sun was the center of the solar system, rather than Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -While Copernicus rightly observed that the planets revolve around the Sun, it was Kepler who correctly defined their orbits.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nicolaus Copernicus proposed his theory that the planets revolved around the sun in the 1500s, when most people believed that Earth was the center of the universe.
Detailed explanation-5: -Copernicus proposed that the Sun was the center of the Solar System, with all of the planets known at that time orbiting the Sun, not the Earth.
