That would be the moon. We've never thought of it that way ... the only object whose status didn't change between the geocentric and heliocentric model. Thanks for showing it to us.

The Earth-centered solar system was thought to be sun-centered in the 16th century by astronomers such as Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus published his model in 1543, proposing that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system. This heliocentric model eventually gained acceptance over the previously held geocentric model.
Aristotle's earth-centered theory of the universe is called geocentrism. It posited that the Earth was stationary at the center of the universe, with celestial bodies orbiting around it in perfect, circular paths.

Peace on Earth.
No! It is heliocentric, or sun centered.
The word for earth-centered is geocentric,
The Moon is the object that orbits Earth in both the Earth-centered (geocentric) and Sun-centered (heliocentric) models of our solar system. In the geocentric model, the Moon orbits around the Earth, while in the heliocentric model, both the Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun, with the Moon continuing to orbit the Earth as it does so.
Genocentric
No Nicolaus Copernicus did not believe in the earth centered theory he believed that the earth and other planets center and revolve around the sun.

There can't.
Because from the star's viewpoint the Earth is insignficant and invisible.
