What is the geocentric model of the solar system and what were some observations that led to that model?
Geo is Greek for Earth, so geocentric means the Earth is at the centre of the Solar System and everything, including the Sun, revolve round the Earth. Observations that led to this - well people see the Sun rise in the east and set in the west. Same with the Moon and planets. So they assumed that the earth was in the middle.
Why is the world not round?
The earth is an oblate spheroid (not a sphere) this means it is is fatter round the middle (the equator) than it is round the north south axis. This difference is caused because the earth is spinning and the spin flings the the middle out against the pull of gravity.
When did people know the earth is round?
People have known the earth is round for over 2,000 years and did experiments. very is likely the Egyptians and Moses thought it was round. most people like flat earthers dont know people knew the earth was round before Columbus.

What is a real life example of a locus?

What is the lagest circle you can draw on a globe?
It is called a great circle and the plane that circle makes must pass through the geometric center of the globe. The largest circle that can be drawn round the Earth is the great circle round its middle, the "equator" this is because the spinning of the earth makes it 'fatter' round the middle.
