What are the two ideas about the universe that Greek philosophers accepted?

Asked by izzy21801

Answer (3)

Greek philosophers believed that the sun, moon, and stars revolved around the earth. This is called Geocentrism, as opposed to heliocentrism, which states that the earth revolves around the sun. They believed that the earth was at the center of the universe.
Also, they believed (ancient greeks) that the motions of the planets were circular and elliptical. It was a widely accepted theory, until Kepler and Copernicus disproved it.
They had a strong belief in Geocentrism.

Greek philosophers accepted two main ideas about the universe: the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center, and the heliocentric model, introduced by Aristarchus, which suggested that the sun is at the center. The geocentric model was widely accepted for centuries, while the heliocentric model gained prominence later. These concepts laid the groundwork for future astronomical advancements.
