The name for the model of a solar system in which planets (and the Sun) revolve around the Earth is called geocentric. Modern astronomy rejects the idea, dating back to Copernicus who was a proponent of the notion that the planets orbited around the Sun (heliocentric). The heliocentric model is thus also called the Copernican, and the geocentric (with models presented most famously by Aristotle and Ptolemy) is called the Ptolemaic.
The model of the solar system where planets revolve around the sun is known as the heliocentric model. Proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, this model posits that the sun is at the center, with planets, including Earth, orbiting around it in elliptical paths. This was a significant shift from the earlier geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. The heliocentric model laid the foundation for modern astronomy and our understanding of planetary motion.
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.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system, which deviated from the geocentric model in the Ptolemaic system. In Copernicus' model, the Sun, not Earth, was at the center of the universe, with the planets, including Earth, revolving around it.
The theory that describes how all planets move around the Sun is called the heliocentric model. This model was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century and states that the Sun is at the center of the solar system, with the planets orbiting around it in elliptical paths.

Nicolaus Copernicus formed the idea of a heliocentric universe, where all planets orbit around the sun.

A model of the solar system with the Sun at the center with all of the planets and moons moving around is called an Orrery.

A model of planets orbiting is called a heliocentric model, where planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits. This model was first proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century as an alternative to the geocentric model.
It is the heliocentric model.

The first known model of the solar system was created by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos around the 3rd century BCE. He proposed a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center and the Earth and other planets orbiting around it.
