Answer:

The Copernican principle is the idea that Earth and the Sun are in no way specially favored bodies in the universe. it is confirmed by the following:

1. Earth orbits the Sun and is not the center of our solar system.

2. The Sun is part of billions of other stars in the Milky Way Galaxy and is not in any central position.

3. The Milky Way Galaxy is part of billions of other galaxies in the universe and planets are commonly found orbiting other stars.
