Question

The heliocentric theory of the solar system was in direct opposition to which civilizations ideas of the universe?

Answer 1

Answer:

It was in direct opposition to the civilizations below:

A. Ancient Rome

B.Ancient Greece

Explanation:

The heliocentric theory of solar system places the sun at the center of the universe. This was in direct opposition with Geocentric theory model promoted during the Ancient Greece and Roman period.

This theory places the earth at the center of the universe due to the fact that, the sun tends to revolve around the earth once a day (when viewed from any part of the world) and earth seems to be unmoving from the perspective of those observers.

It was Copernicus who propounded the heliocentric theory of the solar system that supersedes this Geocentric system after so many centuries.
