Why was the Earth centered model of the solar system hard to explain?
it is hard to explain because people think that the earth revolves around the sun, like all other planets do. And that the earth tilts on its axis changing the seasons of Earth. therefore the concept of the the sun revolving around Earth because it being centered would mean that the sun would spin around earth and the earth would stop spinning and fall into a bottomless pit of space because the gravitational pull of the solar system is what keeps the earth up and spinning. and of ot dpes spin WITH the sun then two things could happen. one side of the earth would never gain sunlight again or sunlight would move around the earth twoce as fast because the earth and sun are spinning a opposite directions. i hope tht has helped u.
