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.

What Galileo discovery provided the greatest evidence that the sun must be at the center of the solar system?
The sun has rings (I think)
What are the functions of a dc disconnect box in solar system?
I don't think our Solar System has such a box.
What was Galileo's theory on our solar system about?
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.
Why was Galileo's discovery important?
Galileo's discovery of the moons of Jupiter provided strong evidence for the heliocentric (Sun-centered) model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus. This challenged the prevailing geocentric (Earth-centered) model and helped to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos. Galileo's observations sparked a new era of astronomical inquiry and set the stage for the scientific revolution.
