There are but 2 main theories of the solar system. Geocentric, and heliocentric. Geocentric is the theory that the Earth is THE center of the solar system, and all the stars, moons, and planets rotate around it. Heliocentric is the theory that involves the sun at the center of the solar system, and all things rotate around it.The geocentric theory came first, and of course the heliocentric followed after. During the Scientific Revolution, the heliocentric theory was being accepted by many astronomers first presented by Copernicus then defended by others.
