Question 9

For centuries, the geocentric model was the dominant cosmological paradigm, placing a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe with the Sun, Moon, and planets revolving around it. This model was eventually superseded by the heliocentric model.

State one other historical belief or theory regarding the nature, composition, or arrangement of the planets and other bodies within our Solar System that has been modified or disproven due to subsequent scientific discoveries.
