He believed that everything rotated around the sun. Also, he believed that the planets orbit were not circular, they are oval. He was a catholic, but they didn't like him because he was going against the church with what he believed.
The sun has rings (I think)
I don't think our Solar System has such a box.
That it wasn't the earth that was the center of the solar system but the sun. He tried to explain his theory to the catholic churches but they didn't want to hear it for they didn't like his theory. This caused a contradiction and Galileo was sent to house arrest. He had to publicly say that he was wrong. But Galileo knew he was right and until the day he died he never had a doubt. It was much later that he was proven right.
Galileo's ideas are important to science because after all that he said, every scientist and philosopher stared to think of new ideas. One of Galileo's ideas was the theory of heliocentic (meaning the sun was in the center of the solar system). Before Galileo's theory, every scientist and philosopher believed in Geocentric (meaning the Earth was the center of the solar sytem).
Galileo,thought wery badly.
Galileo Galilei made an educated guess (and was later on proven to be correct) that the Sun is in the middle of our Solar System.

As proposed by the Heliocentric Theory, the Sun is the center of the Solar System.
The Copernican Theory said that the Sun was the centre of the solar system, not the Earth. The only error he made was that the orbits were perfectly circular. Keplar corrected this by showing the orbits were ellipses.
Ask not what Ptolemy thinks of his solar system, but what his solar system thinks of Ptolemy.
Think about it, the solar system isn't that big. But I think there are microbes and bacteriums on one of the planets.

People thought the earth was in the center of the solar system
Ya think?

The Solar System is believed to be around 4.6 billion years old.
