Galileo was punished by the Church for teaching that the sum is stationary and the earth moves around it. His opponents held the view that the earth is stationary and the sun moves around it. If the absolute motion has no meaing,are the two view points not equally correct or equally wrong?

In the following items, cach passage consists of six sentences. The first sentence (S_1) and the final scntence (S_6) are given in the beginning. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark accordingly on the Answer Sheet. S_1 : When Galileo was young, people believed that the earth was the centre of the Universe. S_6 : But time has proved that Galileo's view was right. P: But Galileo began to argue that it was not so. Q: This belief was supported by the State and the Church. R: He said that the Earth and other planets moved round the sun. S: He was imprisoned for voicing this unorthodox view. The proper sequence should be

In Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about 10^(-15)m ) is analogous to the sum about which the electron moves in orbit (radius about 10^(-10)m ) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or further away form the sun than actually it is ? The radius of earth's orbit is about is 1.5xx10^(11)m . The radius of the sun is taken as 7xx10^8m .
