Absolutely! Helio, helio, hear me out! The heliocentric theory is all about that sun power. It's the concept that our solar system has the sun (our favorite stellar ball of fire) chilling out at the center, while the planets (including our very own Earth) obediently orbit around it. So, kudos to you, my friend! You've got it spot on. Keep rocking that knowledge! 🌞🪐

Yes, that is indeed the correct answer. �The heliocentric theory describes the idea that the sun is at the center of the solar system, and the planets, including Earth, revolve around it in elliptical orbits. This theory was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century as an alternative to the previously accepted geocentric model, which placed the Earth at the center. The heliocentric theory is now widely accepted and forms the foundation of our understanding of the solar system.
