scientific revolution was a period in history beginning in the late 1500s when scientific ideas began to be consciously put to use by European society.

In this new ordering the Earth is just another planet (the third outward from the Sun)‚ and the Moon is in orbit around the Earth‚ not the Sun. The stars are distant objects that do not revolve around the Sun. Instead‚ the Earth is assumed to rotate once in 24 hours‚ causing the stars to appear to revolve around the Earth in the opposite direction. In this new ordering the
