What was foundation of Ptolemys geocentric model of the universe?
Earth was the center of the universe
What is a geocentric model who came up with it?
A geocentric model places the Earth as the center axis of the universe. It originated with Anaximander.
What is the difference between geocentric and heliocentric?
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.
What model did Ptolemy propose?
He proposed the Geocentric model of the universe. In that model, the Earth was at the center and all planets orbited it. This was naturally inferred from the apparent motion of the Sun and stars as the Earth rotates.
Who developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemies geocentric model of the universe?
Nicholas Copernicus did
What scientist first proposed the idea of the geocentric model?
Claudius Ptolemy, an Egyptian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer, proposed the geocentric model around 140 B.C.The geocentric model states that the Earth exists at the center of the universe and everything else revolves around it.

The belief of early astronomers that the Earth was the center of the universe is called?
This is called the Geocentric model, from the latin prefix "Geo-" for earth or ground. This was dropped by the scientific community at the beginning of the renaissance for the Heliocentric model, which states that the sun is the center of the universe. However, even this has been abandoned. The general consensus now is that the universe has no definite center or, if it does, we can never find it due to the dimensional 'curvature' it has.

Which ancient astronomer developed a geocentric model of the universe?
Aristarchus of Samos proposed the heliocentric model in the 3rd century BC; however, his model did not work too well because the data the "scientific community" were working with at the time was wildly inaccurate (while at the same time, shockingly accurate in places given the apparatus they were working with).
