Johannes Kepler produced the model of the solar system that is used today. His work, published in 1609, was based on observations of the planets' positions made by Tycho Brahe using new equipment of higher accuracy than ever before.
Kepler departed from the old models of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Tycho which used circles and epicycles, and hit on the idea of ellpitical orbits for the six known planets. His model showed excellent agreement with the observations, which pleased Kepler but he had no idea why this was so.
About 80 years later Newton's laws of motion and law of gravity were published and he was able to show that an object under the inverse-square law of gravity must follow an elliptical orbit. It was appreciated that the planets must move in their elliptical orbits under the Sun's gravity, and Kepler's model was generally accepted.
In a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies (that was published as Copernicus lay on his deathbed), Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System. Such a model is called a heliocentric system. The ordering of the planets known to Copernicus in this new system is illustrated in the following figure, which we recognize as the modern ordering of those planets.For this reason, a heliocentric system is the Solar System with the sun in the center, so there is not an "opposite".
The name for the model of a solar system in which planets (and the Sun) revolve around the Earth is called geocentric. Modern astronomy rejects the idea, dating back to Copernicus who was a proponent of the notion that the planets orbited around the Sun (heliocentric). The heliocentric model is thus also called the Copernican, and the geocentric (with models presented most famously by Aristotle and Ptolemy) is called the Ptolemaic.
heliocentric
Ptolemy
Uranus is in the heliocentric system like all the other planets. The geocentric system is now only of interest historically. It wasn't correct.
It was the model devised by Copernicus.
Nicolaus Copernicus.
The planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered only in modern times after the heliocentric model had been generally accepted.
in a heliocentric system earth and the other planets revolving planet's a geocentric system ,earth is at the center of the revolving planets
The proposed the heliocentric system.
it was nicolaus copernicus

heliocentric
yes he did
The scientist made the heliocentric model of the solar system. It is a word for the graphical model of our solar system.
