Detailed explanation-1: -Heliocentrism (also known as the Heliocentric model) 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eventually, Galileo came to the same conclusion as Copernicus: the sun, not Earth, was at the center of the universe. In 1632, Galileo published a book in support of the heliocentric theory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Galileo’s observations strengthened his belief in Copernicus’ theory that Earth and all other planets revolve around the Sun. Most people in Galileo’s time believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun and planets revolved around it.
