In the geocentric model the motion of the sun was what'?
It was in orbit around the earth.
Who created the first model of planetary motion?
Ptolemy created the Geocentric model in 2AD
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.
What were ptolemy's accomplishments?
Ptomleys accomplishments were his theory was that the Earth was the center of the universe. He also used to write about different things such as astronomy, geography, and logic.
In the geocentric model the earth at the center of the universe which motion would occur?
The earth would revolve around the sun.
What was the purpose of the epicycle in the Ptolemaic model?
Epicycles helped account for the apparent motion of the other planets in the geocentric model.

What geocentric model of the earth is?
There is no geocentric model of the earth!
What are the contributions of Eudoxus in geocentric theory?
He created a model for the universe that explained retrograde motion if Earth was at the centre.

In the geocentric model the earth at the center of the universe which motion would occur?
The earth would revolve around the sun.
What are Six early ideas about planetary motion?
Eccentricity, geocentric model, heliocentric model, Kepler's second and third laws, elliptical orbits, and Newtons gravitation
Did Aristotle support the heilocentric and geocentric model?
Aristotle supported the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. He did not propose a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center. It was later astronomers like Copernicus who challenged the geocentric model in favor of a heliocentric one.
Do you use the heliocentric or geocentric model in mosdern astronomy?
Practical science often bases its calculations on geocentricity. For example, astronomers use the rotating "celestial sphere" to represent the apparent motion of stars, etc in the night sky. But this is just a useful device. Modern astronomy is certainly based on the heliocentric model of our solar system.
Why has the heliocentric model been replaced with the geocentric model?
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
