Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the moon.No. The above answer is incorrect.Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the EARTH in epicycles. Not the moon. (The model that modeled the planets orbiting earth was the Geocentric model. Aristotle theorized this.)Copernicus's model is known as the Heliocentric model. Ptolemy's theory of epicycles is when the planets revolved in large circles around Earth.

Ptolemy's view of the universe is that all celestial objects, including planets, stars, the Sun and the Moon orbit the Earth.
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.

you are a ideot dumb one
The geocentric model stated that Earth was the center of the universe, and all other bodies revolved around it.Ptolemy thought that the rest of the universe spun in nested circles around the Earth, with the Sun and stars much closer than they actually are.
