The heliocentric system was an idea developed much earlier than the formation of the Catholic Church, but the rule of the Catholic Church suppressed it for a very long time.

Explanation:

The heliocentric system was an idea, or rather a hypothesis that was developed as early as the third century BC. This hypothesis developed in Ancient Greece, and while it did not get a large scale popularity, it still had lot of supporters. The heliocentric system was directly opposing the more widely accepted geocentric system hypothesis, which became a big problem with the rise of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was firmly standing by the geocentric system as it saw as crucial part of its preaching, and with the loss of the old Hellenic literature, the heliocentric system was almost entirely forgotten.

  • It was only in the 16th century that the heliocentric system made a comeback, and that was largely because of the research of Nicolaus Copernicus.
  • The Catholic Church already had big problems, and this was a an even bigger blow to its credentials, so they gave their best to stop this hypothesis from spreading among the masses.
  • The scientific revolution of this period and the big dislike of the Catholic Church and its policies managed to push through, so this hypothesis became the most widely accepted.
  • The heliocentric system suggest that the Sun is the center of the Solar System, and Earth, the Moon, and the other planets and moons are orbiting around the Sun.
