Heliocentric is the motion of earth around the sun. Geocentric is the motion of earth rotating about its axis.
Geocentric: Earth is center of the solar system. Heliocentric: Sun is the centre of the solar system.
Geocentric motion of planet is that in which earth is at the centre of the universe and all other planets revolving around it.Heliocentric motion of planets is that in which sun is the of universe and other planets revolving around it.In planetary motion all the planets includes Earth revolving around the Sun in their fixed orbit.
The main difference - is the centre of the galaxy. The heliocentric theory placed the Sun at the centre of our galaxy - the previous 'geocentric' theory placed the Earth at the centre.
The geocentric model shows earth as the center of the universe. That means everything even the sun revolves around it. That was the theory used in early Greek astronomy. Heliocentric literally means, "sun in the center." That is the way our solar system really is, with everything revolving around the sun. It has been proven by space probes and missions
One would be that they both have a massive object in the center.
The geocentric universe was proposed by Ptolemy and focuses the Earth in the center of the universe. The heliocentric universe was proposed by Nicolas Copernicus and focuses the Sun as the center of the universe. However, both have been proved wrong.
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.

Geocentric understanding places the Earth at the center of the solar system or universe (depending on what is being discussed, and when) A Heliocentric understanding places the sun at the center of the solar system, or universe.
The geocentric model says that the earth is at the center of the cosmos or universe, and the planets, the sun and the moon, and the stars circles around it. The early heliocentric models consider the sun as the center, and the planets revolve around the sun.
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.
