    True

    Explanation:

    Nicolas Copernicus is considered the first person to give the theory of heliocentric, or Sun-centered system of our planetary system. In the heliocentric system, it is considered that the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around the sun. He stated that the sun is at the center of the universe and the earth spins on its axis once daily and revolves around the sun in one year. And today we know it is correct that earth rotates on its own axis and also revolves around the sun.

    While the model of Ptolemy stated that the earth was the center of the universe and all the other celestial objects revolve around the earth.
