- Prior to the 1500s, people believed that Earth was the center of the universe and that other celestial bodies revolved around it.
- This belief was based on limited scientific understanding and observational evidence available at that time.
- The perception that the Moon and Sun orbit around Earth seemed logical because of how it appears from our vantage point on Earth.
Summarise the main points from the powerpoint slide in the space below
