Who Discovered Earth
Asking who discovered the Earth may seem like a silly question—but it isn’t. After all, what is there to discover, if the very first humans lived on the planet anyway? But while this is the case, it took some time before people actually recognized the Earth, the fourth one from the Sun in the Solar System and the only one known to have existing life, is a planet. This makes sense considering the various theories regarding the status of the Earth.
Before the claims of Nicolas Copernicus and the observations of Galileo Galilee, people believed that Earth is the center of the Solar System. This belief was pushed by Claudius Ptolemaeus, also known as Ptolemy. Ptolemy believed that the stars and the other planets orbited the Earth. Since the five classical planets were already discovered at that point, the Ptolemaic geocentric model had the order of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn correct. However, in his model, the Sun came after Mercury and Venus.
It was not until Nicolas Copernicus formulated the heliocentric cosmology that this was corrected, although no one really believed him at first. Here, he theorized that the center cannot be the universe’s center and that the Sun is the real center.
It was Galileo Galilee who proved the cosmology created by Copernicus thanks to his observations of the classical planets. Specifically, his observations that Jupiter had moons (in the Ptolemaic model, there was only one moon) and Venus had half-lit and full-lit phases became proof that the Sun is the Solar System’s center and that the Earth came after Mercury and Venus.
hey
I’m trying to find out whp discovered earth
Great information . Thank you very much.

This helped me with my assignment thanks
Who discovered earth was it another planet or is there a god . Or is it just being brain washed into something that did or did not .who wrote the first bible or is that something for us to believe in
i dont know if your being sarcastic or not because i dont know if u agree with that or not but u should put a opinion.
i agree that earth didn’t just make its self but i don’t know if Adam or eve were the first discoverers of earth be cause it definitely took more than 2 people at the start of the world to discover earth.
NICE AND GOOD ONE IT HELPED ME FROM MY ASSIGNMENT THANK YOU!!!! ☻
Well I believe that earth was discovered by Adam or others in the Bible my scientific hypothesis is that there were lots of people because if the first people were created by dust or whatever reason you believe shouldn’t there have been more than 2 humans to start our world today don’t you think so, if you don’t believe in God then what is your scientific explanation? Id like to keep my name anonymous so just post it on your site.
