Neither the earth nor the sun is the centre of anything unless you are looking at a very narrow perspective. The sun is in the outer part of one of several arms of the milky way galaxy. That is one of several galaxies in our local cluster, and so on. So, in astronomical terms, neither system is correct.
The heliocentric system is better when studying the solar system but that is about as far as the comparison can go.

Do The observed phases of Venus supported the heliocentric system?
The phases of Venus are well supported by the heliocentric system, but they are also supported very well by the previous geocentric system. All you need for Venus to have phases is that Venus should pass between Earth and Sun. That happens in both the heliocentric system and the geocentric system.
