Anya Walton · Answer 2

Answer: Nicolaus Copernicus.

Explanation:

The theory that the Earth orbits around the Sun is frequently credited to the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus. However, the original author of the heliocentric model was the astronomer Aristarchos of Samos (c. 310 - c. 230 BC). It was this ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician who introduced the earliest known model that located the Sun at the heart of the universe with the Earth rotating around it.
