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.
A Heliocentric model places the Sun at the centre with the planets in orbit around it, while a Geocentric model places the Earth at the center with the Sun and the rest of the planets in orbit around it.
One is incorrect and the other is correct
It's whether the Sun or the Earth is at the centre. Early models had the Earth at the centre (geocentric) and a system of circles and epicycles was used to explain the movement of the planets because the early astronomers knew from observations that simple circular orbits did not fit the observations.
Copernicus produced an alternative model with the Sun at the centre (heliocentric), but it was a model that still used circles and epicycles.
Kepler assumed the Sun was at the centre and also used superior observations made by Tycho Brahe to show that the planets move in elliptical orbits.
Newtons discoveries led to a better understanding of what causes the orbits to be elliptical and now the heliocentric system with elliptical orbits is generally accepted.
<<>> All the models predicted the planets' positions reasonably accurately, but Copernicus discovered that the planets' paths were geometrically simpler if the Sun was placed at the centre. Until Newton came along in the late 1600s there was no way of knowing definitely which model was the correct one.

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.
A heliocentric model of the solar system is where the sun is at the centre (Helios means sun in Greek). We know know this to be the correct model. The geocentric model is where the earth is at the centre of the solar system and the sun and all planets are in orbit around the earth. This is how people thought it was many years ago in the middle ages and earlier, but we now know that this is not the true model.
The Geocentric model of the solar system proposed that the Earth was at the centre of the system (and universe), while the sun and planets revolved around the Earth. We now know this not to be true and that the sun is at the centre of the solar system (Heliocentric).
The heliocentric model places the sun at the center of the solar system where the gercentric model places the Earth at the center.
Your mom ;P
Geocentric understanding places the Earth at the center of the solar system or universe (depending on what is being discussed, and when) A Heliocentric understanding places the sun at the center of the solar system, or universe.

Uranus is in the heliocentric system like all the other planets. The geocentric system is now only of interest historically. It wasn't correct.
The phases of Venus are well supported by the heliocentric system, but they are also supported very well by the previous geocentric system. All you need for Venus to have phases is that Venus should pass between Earth and Sun. That happens in both the heliocentric system and the geocentric system.
The geocentric model shows earth as the center of the universe. That means everything even the sun revolves around it. That was the theory used in early Greek astronomy. Heliocentric literally means, "sun in the center." That is the way our solar system really is, with everything revolving around the sun. It has been proven by space probes and missions
Geocentric: Earth is center of the solar system. Heliocentric: Sun is the centre of the solar system.
The proposed the heliocentric system.

in a heliocentric system earth and the other planets revolving planet's a geocentric system ,earth is at the center of the revolving planets
The Heliocentric System. m.i.
Heliocentric means the sun is the center - everything goes around it. Geocentric means the Earth is the center and everything goes around us.

The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
