This model simply claims that Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun.It is clear, nowadays, that the Sun is the center of the "Solar System", but not of the Universe.
It is also clear that the Sun is not the EXACT center - the Sun and the planets move around the center of mass of the Solar System, which is very close to the Sun due to its larger mass, compared to other objects.
An heliocentric model of the universe is a totally incorrect model in which the sun is at the centre of the universe. It is now well recognised that the sun is just a small star in one of the arms of the milky way galaxy and even that is not the centre of the universe.
Geocentric is that the earth is the center of the universe and heliocentric is the sun is the center of the universe. can it be nothing.
I believe you are confusing two things here; there is no such thing as a "heliocentric model of telescope". There is a heliocentric model of our Solar System, and there are telescopes. The two are unrelated.
Johanes Kepler was a German astronomer. He revised the heliocentric model by demonstrating that the orbits are ellipses. glad if that helped you out :) xx
The planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered only in modern times after the heliocentric model had been generally accepted.
Are there any civilized peoples on earth who do not?
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.
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.

Johannes Kepler
Copernicus
Copernicus discussed the concept of a heliocentric universe in his written work.
Galileo is famous for observing and proving his heliocentric model of the universe. After his observation the existing model of the universe was slowly phased out.
Johannes Kepler
A heliocentric model of the universe. Church believed in a geocentric model.
The heliocentric model puts the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the Universe; the Earth and other planets then rotate around the Sun.
Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus showed that our universe is heliocentric.
