What is a geocentric model of your solar system?

A Geocentric model places Earth at the center of the Universe, with all of the stars and planets revolving around it. The most famous such model is that of Ptolemy. It stood as the accepted model until Copernicus was proven right by Galileo and Kepler.

What are the strengths of the heliocentric model?

Its main strength is that it is the model which is universally accepted by everyone. Copernicus put forward a heliocentric model that used circular orbits. That meant he couldn't completely eliminate all the complications of the old geocentric model, such as "epicycles". Later Kepler showed that the planets move in elliptical orbits. The basic idea of the heliocentric model is that the Sun is at the centre. One of the main strengths is the simplicity of the heliocentric model. Kepler's version (still used today) of the model with its elliptical orbits is particularly elegant and simple, with no epicycles.

How can you do a 3-dimensional model on Nickel?

The widely accepted model for the diagramming of atoms today is the Quantum model, which involves different orbits holding two electrons, and different energy levels, hold electrons in groups of 2, 8, 18, and 32. Drawing this model typically results in a huge mess of lines, and a three dimensional model would be even worse. So i suggest using the Bohr model, and making a semi-sphere with the correct number of electrons in each shell.


Did Galileo's model on the solar system got accepted or rejected?
