The name of our planet is the Earth. The name of our moon is the Moon. The name of our solar system is the Solar System.
I capitalize them, because when used as names, they are proper nouns. This also helps us distinguish between the planet Earth and earth (meaning soil), between the Earth's Moon and moon (meaning the natural satellite of a planet), and between our Solar System and any other solar systems (since any system containing a star and a planet or a planet-forming disk can be called a solar system.)
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System.

The concept of the Earth being in the center of the solar system is known as geocentrism, which was widely believed in ancient times but has been superseded by the heliocentric model where the Sun is at the center.

Geocentric'.
This was discounted by the Polish Astronomer . Copernicus, in the 16th century.
More correctly, we are a revolving planet in an Heliocentric system.
