The heliocentric model was generally rejected by the ancient philosophers for three main reasons:

1) If the Earth is rotating about its axis, and orbiting around the Sun, then the Earth must be in motion. However, we cannot ``feel'' this motion. Nor does this motion give rise to any obvious observational consequences. Hence, the Earth must be stationary.
—————————————
2) If the Earth is executing a circular orbit around the Sun then the positions of the stars should be slightly different when the Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun. This effect is known as parallax. Since no stellar parallax is observable (at least, with the naked eye), the Earth must be stationary. In order to appreciate the force of this argument, it is important to realize that ancient astronomers did not suppose the stars to be significantly further away from the Earth than the planets. The celestial sphere was assumed to lie just beyond the orbit of Saturn.
—————————————
3)The geocentric model is far more philosophically attractive than the heliocentric model, since in the former model the Earth occupies a privileged position in the Universe.

Why were many people in the Georgia Colony slow to support the American Revolution at first?
aliya0001 [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The colony’s economy depended on trade with Great Britain.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

During that time, most of the products of the Georgia were exported to <em>English Navy</em>. Also, England and West Indies were the most important market for trade o the Georgians. Other than trade, protection from the British government was another reason for slow support to <em>American Revolution. </em>

They didn’t believe the new-born country could protect them from <em>neighbouring threats of Spanish and French</em> from south and west respectively. They believed much in the protection of one of most powerful nations, England.
