You should read a book and find out, don't always go the easy way out. Timmy
Same- Both are models of the solar system and how the sun and planets are arranged.
Different-
Geocentric- revolves around the earth.
Heliocentric- Planets (including Earth) revolve around the sun.
your welcome.
The heliocentric model says that the earth and all other planets revolve around the sun and the sun is stationary, but the geocentric model says that the earth is stationary and all other planets (including the sun) revolve around it.
The geocentric model states that the Earth is at the center of the universe and all other celestial bodies revolve around it.
The heliocentric model, on the other hand, claims that the Sun is at the center of the solar system, but not necessarily the center of the universe.
In a heliocentric model the Sun is the center of the universe e.g. planets gravitate around the Sun due to centripetal forces. In contrast, in a geocentric model, everything orbitates around "geo" or Earth.
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.
This would be known as a geocentric model, and it is pretty easy to show why such a model is unlikely.
Geocentric understanding places the Earth at the center of the solar system or universe (depending on what is being discussed, and when) A Heliocentric understanding places the sun at the center of the solar system, or universe.

The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
The Geocentric or Ptolemaic Model put the earth at the center of the Universe. The Heliocentric Model postulated by Copernicus and, before him, Aristarchus, places the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Galileo's observations proved the validity of the Heliocentric Model.
The planets Uranus and Neptune were discovered only in modern times after the heliocentric model had been generally accepted.
In a heliocentric model the Sun is the center of the universe e.g. planets gravitate around the Sun due to centripetal forces. In contrast, in a geocentric model, everything orbitates around "geo" or Earth.
Heliocentric means the sun is the center - everything goes around it. Geocentric means the Earth is the center and everything goes around us.
The heliocentric theory is the idea that planets rotate around the sun, where the geocentric theory said that everything orbited around Earth.
Geocentric models had the earth as the center of the universe with the sun and all the planets orbiting it. Heliocentric models (the current accepted ones) have the sun as the center, with the earth and planets orbiting it.
A heliocentric model of the universe. Church believed in a geocentric model.
Heliocentric was thought to believe that the sun was at the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the Sun. Geocentric was thought to believe that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets revolved around the earth. We now know that our solar system is centered around the sun and is heliocentric.
Geocentric is that the earth is the center of the universe and heliocentric is the sun is the center of the universe. can it be nothing.
The geocentric model says that the earth is at the center of the cosmos or universe, and the planets, the sun and the moon, and the stars circles around it. The early heliocentric models consider the sun as the center, and the planets revolve around the sun.
This would be known as a geocentric model, and it is pretty easy to show why such a model is unlikely.
