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.

Galileo believed that the Earth revolved around the Sun, contrary to the popular belief at the time that the Earth was at the center of the universe. He supported the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, which was a major advancement in our understanding of the solar system. Galileo's observations through his telescope provided evidence to support this model.

He thought that the Earth and all other planets revolved around the sun. (We now know this is correct) The catholic church and others believed that all other planets revolved around the earth. Since he challenged this idea against the catholic church he was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life.
