who proved the sun is the center of the solar system?
galileo galilei
with the help of the telescope providing a closer look into the sky, galileo galilei proved the heliocentric model of the solar system. galileo observed the phases of venus's appearance with the telescope and was able to confirm kepler's first law of planetary motion and copernicus's heliocentric model. galileo claimed that the solar system is not only made up of the sun, the moon and the planets but also comets. by observing movements around jupiter, galileo initially thought that these were the actions of stars. however, after a week of observing, he noticed changes in the patterns of motion in which he concluded that they are moons, four moons.
