Its strength was that it could predict the positions of the planets with pretty good accuracy. Its weakness was that by 1600 the techniques of measuring planets' positions had advanced to the point where discrepancies were noticed in the predictions made with the geocentric model.

Who was the philosopher who believed that the earth was the center of the universe?
Though many accepted the geocentric model of the universe, it was designed by the famous astronomer Ptolemy.
Why were these early astronomers shunned by finding the geocentric model?
astroneomers were not shunned because of the geocentric model but the heliocentric model (with the sun in the middle of the universe). This was because religious leaders believed that god created the earth as the center of the universe and this idea was believed by nearly everybody.
What is the name of the theory states earth is the center of the universe?
It was the geocentric model of the solar system or universe that stated that the earth was at the center of all things. It was displaced by the heliocentric model of the solar system, which stated that the sun was the center of the solar system.A link can be found below.
The geocentric model of the universe stated that?
The geocentric model of the universe stated that Earth was at the center, with the Sun and other celestial bodies orbiting around it. This model was proposed by ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Ptolemy and held sway until the heliocentric model replaced it in the 16th century with the work of Copernicus and Galileo.

This is called the Geocentric model, from the latin prefix "Geo-" for earth or ground. This was dropped by the scientific community at the beginning of the renaissance for the Heliocentric model, which states that the sun is the center of the universe. However, even this has been abandoned. The general consensus now is that the universe has no definite center or, if it does, we can never find it due to the dimensional 'curvature' it has.
Did Aristotle support the heilocentric and geocentric model?
Aristotle supported the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. He did not propose a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center. It was later astronomers like Copernicus who challenged the geocentric model in favor of a heliocentric one.
What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Geocentric model?
The Geocentric model, posited by Ptolemy, effectively explained the apparent motion of celestial bodies using a system of deferents and epicycles, making it intuitively understandable for its time. Its strength lay in its ability to predict planetary positions accurately within the observable framework. However, its primary weakness was its reliance on complex mechanisms and the assumption of Earth as the universe's center, which contradicted observational evidence and was ultimately replaced by the more accurate Heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. This shift highlighted the limitations of the Geocentric perspective in accommodating the true nature of celestial mechanics.
