The Geocentric or Ptolemaic Model put the earth at the center of the Universe. The Heliocentric Model postulated by Copernicus and, before him, Aristarchus, places the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Galileo's observations proved the validity of the Heliocentric Model.

The Geocentric Theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe, and that all other objects orbit around it. The Heliocentric Theory states that the Sun is the center of the universe, and all other objects orbit around it. Of course, the Heliocentric Theory is correct, since all astronomical objects orbit around the Sun.
A geocentric theory is one that states the universe is centered by Earth. Geo means earth. The old Ptolemaic Model of the universe has earth as the center. A heliocentric theory is one that is centered by a source of heat. Helio = heat. It basically states that the sun is the center of our galaxy. (Copernican Model)
Geocentric theory
Geocentric theory
Copernicus and Ptolemy supported the geocentric universe and Aristotle supported the heliocentric and Galileo proved the heliocentric
Geocentric is when the earth is believed to be the center of the universe. The opposite is Heliocentric, where the sun is the center of the universe.
Aristotle was a geocentric believer( the earth was at the center of the universe.
Ptolemy created the geocentric theory of the universe and Nicolous Copernicus created the heliocentric theory of the universe.
He was revolutionary man, demolishing the geocentric theory (it was a struggle) and building the heliocentric theory. The geocentric theory states that the Earth was at the centre of the universe. The heliocentric theory says that the Sun was at the centre of the universe. Neither is correct, but the heliocentric one was closer, way closer.He came up with theories to better society
The geocentric universe was proposed by Ptolemy and focuses the Earth in the center of the universe. The heliocentric universe was proposed by Nicolas Copernicus and focuses the Sun as the center of the universe. However, both have been proved wrong.
No, he developed therious on te heliocentric universe
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.
A geocentric model of the universe places the Earth at the center of the universe. A Heliocentric model of our solar system places the Sun at the center of our solar system.
One would be that they both have a massive object in the center.
Hubble observed the expanding universe, which is much larger than our solar system. The sun is the center of the solar system, but not of the entire universe. Therefore, Hubble's theory is not really geocentric or heliocentric.
because heliocentric means " sun is the center of the universe" and geocentric means "earth is the center of the universe" so if you know about the solar system you should know that the sun is the center of the solar system
