Question

which idea was supported by aristarchus, copernicus, and galileo? the planets have epicycles the planets revolve around the sun. the stars rotate around the sun the center of the solar system is earth.

Explanation:

Aristarchus proposed a heliocentric model where planets revolve around the Sun. Copernicus developed the Copernican heliocentric model with planets (including Earth) orbiting the Sun. Galileo's observations (e.g., phases of Venus) supported the heliocentric view. The idea of planets having epicycles was part of the Ptolemaic (geocentric) model. Stars do not rotate around the Sun (the Sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy with stars in their own orbits). The geocentric (Earth - centered) model was the traditional view before the heliocentric revolution.

Answer:

The planets revolve around the Sun.
