And therein lies a valuable lesson for all students of science: all scientific ideas and theories and conclusions are conditional by nature. Would. Could. Maybe. Should. Potentially. Possibly. This is called parallax , and you can see it quite easily for yourself. Hold your arm straight out in front of you and stick up your thumb. Close one eye and look at your thumb, then open that eye and close the other one and look again. You will notice that it appears as if your thumb has shifted with respect to the background. It's not your thumb that has moved, but the point where you measure from. By shifting from one eye to the other, you've changed your vantage point. The same thing happens as the Earth orbits the Sun. Observing a star's position when the Earth is on one side and then on the other is the equivalent of looking at your thumb with first one eye and then the other.

50. Stanford SOLAR Center -- Ask A Solar Physicist FAQs - Answer around 450 BC. It was again suggested by aristarchus of samos, around220 BC, but this idea did not catch on. About 1800 years later http://solar-center.stanford.edu/FAQ/Qsunasstar.html

Who discovered that the Sun was a star? This answer is courtesy of Louis Strous of the National Solar Observatory, Sacramento Peak, NM. Many people's work was needed to prove that the Sun is a star. The first person we know of to suggest that the Sun is a star up close (or, conversely, that stars are Suns far away) was Anaxagoras, around 450 BC. It was again suggested by Aristarchus of Samos, around 220 BC, but this idea did not catch on. About 1800 years later, around AD 1590, Giordano Bruno suggested the same thing, and was burnt at the stake for it. Through the work of Galileo, Kepler, and Copernicus during the 16th and 17th centuries the nature of the solar system and the Sun's place in it became clear, and finally in the 19th century the distances to stars and other things about them could be measured by various people. Only then was it proved that the Sun is a star. For most of human history, almost all people have thought that the Earth was in the center of a giant sphere (or ball, called the "celestial sphere") with the stars stuck to the inside of the sphere. The planets, Sun, and Moon were thought to move between the sphere of stars and the Earth, and to be different from both the Earth and the stars. Anaxagoras

Aristarchus of Samos Aristarchus of Samos (Approximately 300 BC) discovered a method to figure out the ratio of the distances from the Earth to the sun, and Earth to moon. Using several observations, which included the Half-Moon, Solar Eclipse, and Lunar Eclipse, he discovered a proportional relationship between the radius of the Earth and the radius of the moon. Another Greek Mathematician/Astronomer, Eratosthenes, (In the same time period) discovered a technique to find the radius of the Earth. Combining Aristarchus' work together with that of Eratosthenes, and using observations Aristarchus made about the apparent diameter of the moon, it is possible to calculate the sizes of the Earth, moon and sun, and also the distances between the Earth, moon, and sun. We'll show you how he set the equations for figuring out the distance from the Earth to the Sun, and from the Earth to the Moon. We will also, in plain English, explain that if of Eratosthenes and Archimedes worked with Aristarchus, Aristarchus would have been able to tell the distance from the Earth to the Sun, and the Earth to the Moon in around 300 BC. We will describe the arguments Aristarchus used to convince people about his theory and what he did wrong, what he did right, and how he intentionally lied, even though he knew the correct answer, to the people just to satisfy them.

ASTRONOMY AND COSMOLOGY I A reference to Aristotle is essential in a history of science, though impossible in a few sentences without being banal. This greatest of all Greek philosophers, who flourished in the 4th century BC, exerted an all-encompassing influence on the development of western thought. He introduced the systematic study of logic which he applied to his teachings. In his biological writings he presented a classification system of animals that was not fully replaced until the time of Linnaeus . All branches of knowledge were classified: physics, methaphysics, rhetoric, poetics. His picture of a perfect, unchanging, spherical universe centered on the earth placed a long-lasting damper on western understanding of the workings of the physical world, particularly the motions of the stars and planets. To the four supposed elements making up the universe, earth, water, air, and fire, he added a fifth, invisible element, the ether. This ether, made necessary because "nature abhorrs a vacuum", was an inpalpable fixture for over 2000 years until its existence was disproved by the Michelson-Morley experiment. His teachings, lost to western Europe during the dark ages, were reintroduced after contacts with the Arab world increased. The Scholastics reconciled Christian dogma with Aristotle's ideas, which virtually became dogma in secular learning. This discouraged independent scientific observation, inquiry, and experiment, even though Aristotle himself had been an interested observer of the natural world.

The Sun Daily motion around the celestial poles (rising and setting). Eastward drift along the Ecliptic over a year, a little faster in winter, slower in summer. The Moon Daily motion around the celestial poles. Eastward motion near the Ecliptic over a month. The Planets Daily motions about the celestial poles. Generally eastward motion near the Ecliptic at different speeds for each planet. Occasional westward "retrograde" motions. Superior Planets are brighter at opposition, fainter at conjunction. Any successful description of the Solar System must explain all these facts. The Geocentric System Geocentric = Earth-Centered. Anaximander of Miletus (610-c.546 BC)

Proposed Sun as center of planetary motion In treatise, On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon , he estimated that Sun is 20 times farther from Earth than Moon (closer to 400) Since both have approximately same angular size, the Sun must be 20 times larger than Moon or about 7 times Earth's diameter (closer to 109 times)

56. The Copernican Model: A Sun-Centered Solar System This sequence is commonly called the Copernican Revolution. Been There, DoneThat aristarchus of samos. The idea of Copernicus was not really new! http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/retrograde/copernican.html

The Copernican Model: A Sun-Centered Solar System The Earth-centered Universe of Aristotle and Ptolemy held sway on Western thinking for almost 2000 years. Then, in the 16th century a new idea was proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolai Copernicus The Heliocentric System In a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies (that was published as Copernicus lay on his deathbed), Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System. Such a model is called a heliocentric system . The ordering of the planets known to Copernicus in this new system is illustrated in the following figure, which we recognize as the modern ordering of those planets. The Copernican Universe In this new ordering the Earth is just another planet (the third outward from the Sun), and the Moon is in orbit around the Earth, not the Sun. The stars are distant objects that do not revolve around the Sun. Instead, the Earth is assumed to rotate once in 24 hours, causing the stars to appear to revolve around the Earth in the opposite direction. Retrograde Motion and Varying Brightness of the Planets The Copernican system by banishing the idea that the Earth was the center of the Solar System, immediately led to a simple explanation of both the varying brightness of the planets and retrograde
