Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

What is the geocentric theory?
* The geocentric theory basically states that the earth is the center of the the universe. Copernicus proved that this theory was wrong. The planets including earth revovles around the sun. What copernicus basically did was that he tooka telescope and he looked at the sky and saw that the planets was orbiting around the sun and that the earth was not at the center ofthe universe.
What is the Heliocentric theory?
* The heliocentric theory basically states that the the sun is at the center of the universe but the planets moved in perfect circles. This theory was wrong. The earth doesnt move in perfect circles, each year the earth moves closer to the sun.
The trial of Galileo:
* Galileo believed that copernicus was right. When he looked at through the telescope he saw that copernicus was right. The church didnt want him to agree with copernicus so they decieded to take him to trial. When they took him to trial they made him saw that copernicus theory was wrong even though he knew and believed that copernicus was correct. He had to do this or the church wouldnt like him any more.
