The heliocentric model puts the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the Universe; the Earth and other planets then rotate around the Sun.

A heliocentric model is a model of the solar system where the Sun is at the center and the planets orbit around it. This is in contrast to the geocentric model, where Earth is considered to be the center of the universe.
