A) But why?
Copernicus published "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" ("on the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres") in 1542, dismissing the Ptolemaic System of the Sun turning around the Earth.
Galileo (1564-1642) popularized the Copernican system.
Kepler (1572-1630) brought the first theoretical basis : "Kepler's Laws". Corresponded with Galileo.
Newton (1642-1727) unified Kepler's Laws; showed their common basis.
