Representation of Solar System in Vedas

The solar system is made up of the sun and everything that orbits around it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids.  In the 17th century about 300 years ago, scientists developed an understanding of physics that led to the gradual acceptance of the idea that Earth moves around the Sun and that the planets are governed by the same physical laws that govern Earth. Some of the planets have been known to people for as long as they have been watching the stars. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can all be seen with the naked eye, so it's impossible to say who was the first human to discover them, and when that was. Uranus was discovered by William Hershel on March 13, 1781.

Vedic Explanation

Before this everyone believed that Sun revolves around the Earth but in Vedas, about 12,000 years ago  it was written that Earth and other eight planets rotates around Sun. Our Earth completes one rotation in about 365 days which gives cycle of changing seasons. Planet name’s were written in chronological order which exactly confirmed with modern discoveries. Days and night is caused by rotation of Earth in it’s own axis not because Sun revolves around Earth and  is clearly mentioned in Holy books of Hinduism.
