Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish mathematician and astronomer, proposed the heliocentric model of the Solar System in his book "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" published in 1543. This work announced that the Earth and other planets orbit the sun, challenging the geocentric view that Earth was the center of the universe.
No. He circled the earth and then made a splashdown and was picked up by a Navy ship.
Yes, if he did not study anything beyond the Earth, he would not be an astronomer!
That was the general belief held in antiquity.

Copernicus.
Nicholas Copernicus ..................................... my science said so
Galileo theorized the earth circled the sun.
As far as is known from written records in human history,no comet has ever circled the earth.

The original idea (at least, the earliest of which we're aware) that the Earth circled the Sun was proposed by Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek astronomer and mathematician. But the Aristotle's idea that the Sun circled the Earth was more "obviously apparent" and became accepted as fact. The reintroduction of the heliocentric theory by Copernicus, supported by more accurate celestial observations, came almost 1700 years later.
I am not entirely sure what you mean by "circled" (circular?).The Earth has approximately the shape of a sphere. That means that if you look at it from outside, from any angle, the profile will be close to a circle.
he never fully circled around the equator of Earth
Galileo or erotostthenees or somthing like that

Aristarchus.
