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.
Galileo Galilei proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system, where the sun is at the center and the planets orbit around it. This contradicted the prevailing geocentric model, in which Earth was believed to be at the center of the universe. Galileo's observations with the telescope provided evidence to support the heliocentric theory.
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.
The sun has rings (I think)
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.
