The Geocentric Theory that came before the Heliocentric Theory. The two theorys were very different. The Geocentric Theory say that the earth centers around all other planets such as the sun, the moon, and the 8 other planets. This theory was thought by Aristotle and Ptolemy however, it was disproven by Corpernicus and also defended by Galileo. The Heliocentric Theory proved that the sun was the center of the universe. It was said that all planets and the moon revolved around the sun.
The Trial of Galileo was done because then roman catholic church thought his ideas were influencing to many people. They protested against him backing up the heliocentric theory Corpernicus. Later the trial ended him to a sentence of death.
