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.
