The geocentric system is very plausible to people who have not looked deeply into the subject of astronomy, because at first glance, that's how things appear. We stand on a world that does not feel like it is moving. Our senses tell us that it is motionless (not counting earthquakes). It is somewhat difficult to imagine that this vast, seemingly motionless surface that we are standing on is actually moving through space. And when we look at the sky, we see various astronomical objects which rise and set, just as if they were circling the motionless Earth.
Uranus is in the heliocentric system like all the other planets. The geocentric system is now only of interest historically. It wasn't correct.
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.
The idea first came from Aristotle, the Great philosopher of the fourth century B.C.
Nicolaus Copernicus was the astronomer to challenge the geocentric model of the solar system.
Geocentric is not a place, rather it is the name for the model of the solar system which places the earth at the centre and all other bodies revolve around it. This was considered the correct model for centuries. The heliocentric model places the sun at the centre of the solar system and all other bodies rotate around the sun. We now know this is the correct configuration.

Not completely, but it was closer than the geocentric system.
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.

In a geocentric universe the earth is the center of the universe or solar system and everything revolves around it. In a heliocentric universe the sun or a star is the center of the universe or solar system. We live in a heliocentric solar system with the sun as the center.

"Geocentric".
Geocentric is not a place, rather it is the name for the model of the solar system which places the earth at the centre and all other bodies revolve around it.
