Latadeva the author of "Soorya Siddhanta", talked about the earth's axis and called it SUMERU. "That the earth is a sphere and it rotates on its own axis", was known to Varahamihira and other Indian astronomers much before Copernicus published this theory. Latadeva in his Surya siddhanta text has divided the year into 12 months. Seven planets of the solar system effect the earth's atmosphere and their names were added to the seven days of the week, which was accepted all over the world.
