heliocentric means that sun is the center of our eight planets.Copernicus, one of the fathers of Astronomy thought that everything revolves around the sun.
Helio: sun. Centric: center. Ergo, heliocentric means "sun-center." If you are talking about orbits, this means that a star (or in our case, the sun) is the center of the orbit.
Heliocentric refers to a model where the Sun is at the center of the solar system, with other celestial bodies orbiting around it, while geocentric refers to a model where the Earth is at the center of the universe, with the Sun and planets orbiting around it. The heliocentric model was proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century, challenging the geocentric view that had been dominant for centuries.
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
Heliocentric
The scientist made the heliocentric model of the solar system. It is a word for the graphical model of our solar system.
"Helio-" comes from the Greek word for "Sun". "centric" means "centered". So "heliocentric" means "Sun-centered".
Heliocentric means sun-centered.
Helio: sun. Centric: center. Ergo, heliocentric means "sun-center." If you are talking about orbits, this means that a star (or in our case, the sun) is the center of the orbit.
Heliocentric means literally sun at the center.
Yes, that is what heliocentric means. The other theory was the geocentric one with the Earth at the centre.
Heliocentric means the sun is the center - everything goes around it. Geocentric means the Earth is the center and everything goes around us.
Heliocentric refers to a model where the Sun is at the center of the solar system, with other celestial bodies orbiting around it, while geocentric refers to a model where the Earth is at the center of the universe, with the Sun and planets orbiting around it.

Heliocentric mean the sun is at the center of a solar system.
Solar means our sun and all the 8 planets orbiting around it and other dwarf planets forms a system . that's why it is called so. Also the mass of sun is about 99.86% of the total mass of solar system . So Sun is the head of our family .
copernicus coined the heliocentric theory...
The proposed the heliocentric system.
Nicolaus Copernicus showed that our universe is heliocentric.
