What is the difference between a geocentric and heliocentric model of the solar system?
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.

Which scientists discuss whether the earth or the sun is at the center of the system of the sun and planets?
The manner in which the objects in the solar system are laid out and whether the earth or the sun is at the center is a question for the science of astronomy. Originally, the earth was thought to be the "center of all things" in the universe, and also in the system of planets and the sun. But the manner in which the planets moved across the sky could not be explained by the model of the system with the earth at the center. It was by placing the sun at the center of the system, and calling it a solar system (the heliocentric model), as was suggested by Copernicus, the "problems" of explaining the motion of the planets "went away" by themselves.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
What was Copernicus view of the solar system?
he thought the sun was in the center of the solar system, and that all the other planets and Earth orbited around it
Aristotles study about the solar system?
he thought the earth was the center of the universe and the sun and the planets orbiting the earth. but he was wrong.
Is there a sun for every solar system?
Yes, that's the idea of a "solar system". A star (sun) in the center, and planets going around it.Yes, that's the idea of a "solar system".

Who first explained that the sun is at the center of the system of planets?
Anyone
How is Copernicus' description of the system of planets different from ptolemys description?
Ptolemy thought the earth was the center of the solar system (Otherwise known as the Geocentric theory) and Copernicus's idea was that the sun was at the center of the solar system (Heliocentric theroy).

What is at the center of your Solar Systems?
The center of our Solar System is the Sun, a star that provides heat, light, and energy to the planets orbiting around it.
In the solar system where sun is present?
The Sun is near the center of the Solar System. Basically, planets, etc. move around the center of mass of the Solar System, which is near the Sun - but not exactly so, because the planets (especially Jupiter) also have some mass.
