Who discovered the solar system...?

(A) Copernicus
(B) Newton

(C) Galileo
(D) Kepler

Comments
Explanation:

The concept of the solar system as we understand it today was not discovered by a single person but developed over time through the contributions of several scientists:

  1. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543): He proposed the heliocentric model, where the Sun is at the center of the solar system, rather than the Earth (geocentric model). This was a revolutionary idea and laid the foundation for the modern understanding of the solar system.

  2. Galileo Galilei (1564–1642): Using a telescope, Galileo provided observational evidence for the heliocentric model by discovering moons orbiting Jupiter (the Galilean moons) and observing the phases of Venus.

  3. Johannes Kepler (1571–1630): He formulated the laws of planetary motion, describing how planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths.
