If this is from Florida Focus, and in general terms, Modern astronomers would suggest the Sun is not the exact center of the Solar System, but would agree that the Sun is not revolving around Earth.
The Sun-centered or heliocentric model of the solar system is called the Copernican model (after Copernicus) and more closely matches the modern astronomical notions. By contrast, the geocentric or Earth-centric model is often called the Ptolemaic.
heliocentric
Brahe believed in the heilocentric model. Which the sun is in the center of the solar system.
Plato was one of the first astronomers to state that the earth was the center of the universe. However the concept that the earth was the center of the universe dates back prior to this due to the lack of technology to see beyond the earths atmosphere to see that the sun is the center of our Galaxy the "Milky way."
The heliocentric model is sun-centered. The geocentric model is earth-centered.
Nicholas Copernicus
Not completely, but it was closer than the geocentric system.
astroneomers were not shunned because of the geocentric model but the heliocentric model (with the sun in the middle of the universe). This was because religious leaders believed that god created the earth as the center of the universe and this idea was believed by nearly everybody.
The Earth-centered or "geo-centric" model.
so that they know the distance of the planets
No model but a hybrid centered solar system [ Two centers orbiting one another ]

Ptolemy's model is different from the earlier Greek model because Ptolemy developed a compllex geocentric model of the universe and his model seemed to explain motions until the 1500s.The early Greek astronomers believed that Earth was the center of the universe.
