In a heliocentric model the Sun is the center of the universe e.g. planets gravitate around the Sun due to centripetal forces. In contrast, in a geocentric model, everything orbitates around "geo" or Earth.
This would be known as a geocentric model, and it is pretty easy to show why such a model is unlikely.

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.
Neither, The Geocentric theory was created by a student of 'Plato's' by the name of Ptolemy. The Heliocentric theory was by Copernicus.
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
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.
The planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered only in modern times after the heliocentric model had been generally accepted.

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 theory is the idea that planets rotate around the sun, where the geocentric theory said that everything orbited around Earth.
Geocentric models had the earth as the center of the universe with the sun and all the planets orbiting it. Heliocentric models (the current accepted ones) have the sun as the center, with the earth and planets orbiting it.
A heliocentric model of the universe. Church believed in a geocentric model.

Yes, that is what heliocentric means. The other theory was the geocentric one with the Earth at the centre.
Aristotle believed in a geocentric model, where the Earth is at the center of the universe, with celestial bodies revolving around it.
The proposed the heliocentric system.
