one year is the time required for the earth to travel around the sun. For most of history,
however, people did not know that the earth moved around the sun. Instead, people
believed that the sun moved around the earth.
The old idea that the sun moved around the earth is known as the "geocentric" theory.
This idea was first made famous by an ancient Greek scientist, Ptolemy, who lived in
Egypt nearly 2000 years ago. Some other Greek philosophers had suggested instead that
the earth might travel around the sun. However, this idea, which is known as the
"heliocentric" theory, was not widely accepted. For centuries, people in Europe did not
seriously question Ptolemy's geocentric theory.
During the early fifteenth century, however, a Polish astronomer named Nicolaus
Copernicus began to think that the heliocentric idea was right, and that the geocentric
idea was wrong. Shortly before his death, Copernicus wrote a book that described the
mathematical details of his theory that the earth revolved, or travelled, around the sun.
Later astronomers came to agree with Copernicus's view. One of the most famous of
these was Galileo, an Italian scientist. Galileo was famous for demonstrating that light
and heavy objects fall at exactly the same speed, unless an object is so light that it is
slowed by the air. Galileo was also the first astronomer to use a powerful telescope to
observe the sky. He discovered many unknown features of the moon, the sun, and the
planets.
When Galileo announced that he believed in Copernicus's theory that the earth revolved
around the sun, some officials of the Roman Catholic Church were angry. They argued
that this theory was against the beliefs of the Church. Some church officials disagreed
with this view, but the authorities decided that Galileo should be punished by "house
arrest." (In other words, Galileo was not allowed to leave his house.) Also, Galileo was
forced to make a public statement that renounced his belief in the heliocentric theory.
At about the same time that Galileo supported the heliocentric idea, another astronomer
did some important work that supported Copernicus's view. This astronomer was
Johannes Kepler, who lived in Germany. Kepler used the observations of previous
scientists to figure out the motion of the planets around the sun. He realized that the
planets did not travel in circular paths, but instead in paths that were elliptical, or oval, in
shape. Kepler's discoveries showed mathematically how the planets would revolve
around the sun.
Today, everyone knows that the earth moves around the sun; but for a long time, it
seemed more reasonable to believe that the sun moved around the earth. We can thank
the great scientists of the past who discovered the surprising truth
