What the evidence for a geocentric model?
The geocentric system was the first model of our solar system-dating back to the times of Aristotle and is best know as the Ptolemaic system after the Greek philosopher Ptolemy. This model predicted a earth-centered system hence geocentric and it was the most favorable until about the late 15 hundreds if my memory is serving me well. however some astronomers were not concurring to the geocentric model, in the light of that a guy known as Nicolaus Copernicus devised a secret(this was against the teachings of the church and it was death punishable) heliocentric system with the sun at the center of our solar system and that was later mastered by a lot of fellows like Galileo and Kepler.. Some Facts about this1) Copernicus was smart enough to only publish lying on his bed of death2) Galileo was held under house arrest for the last 10 yrs of his life for publicising the heliocentric system The word "helios" in Greek means "sun." Heliocentric means that the sun is at the center. A heliocentric system is one in which the planets revolve around a fixed sun. Thus Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn all revolve around the sun.This theory was first proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus was a Polish astronomer. He first published the heliocentric system in his book: De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.Further digging showsWhile Nicolaus Copernicus is often credited as being one who pushed heliocentrism to the forefront of modern astronomy it was actually Aristarchus of Samos who argued the idea of a heliocentric model nearly 1800 years earlier!
