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.

Where is the center of universe located and how far is it from solar system?
It seems that the Universe has no center. It is generally believed that the Universe looks roughly the same way wherever you are; wherever you are, it looks as if you are at the center.
What is a particle that moves around the nucleus?
Assuming that by nucleus you refer to an atom the particles circling the atoms center (protons and neutrons ) are called electrons.
What is the outer layer in animal cells called?
the cell membrane. It is a protein mosaic this is hydrophobic on both sides and hydrophllic in the center.
What did they believe prior to newtons law of gravity?
Before Isaac Newton discovered gravity, people believed what the Catholic Church was teaching. The Catholic Church was teaching people that everything revolved around the Earth - the geocentric theory, and that God was the one who was using His power to hold up the heavenly bodies.
What is meant by the heat death of the universe?
The heat death is a possible final state of the universe, in which it has "run down" to a state of no free energy to sustain motion or life. In physical terms, it has reached maximum entropy. The hypothesis of a universal heat death stems from the 1850s ideas of William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) who extrapolated the theory of heat views of mechanical energy loss in nature, as embodied in the first two laws of thermodynamics, to universal operation.Current models predict that there is not enough mass in the universe to stop its ever accelerating expansion.The universe will continue to expand indefinitely. Stars will continue to convert hydrogen and helium into black holes, photons and heavy elements, gradually depleting the available hydrogen and helium necessary for star production, and dissipating their mass/energy throughout the universe.Eventually, no more new stars will be produced, and the universe will be filled with the cooling remnants of dead stars. Models predict that many of these remnants will be sucked up by giant black holes, such as the one in the center of our galaxy.But ultimately, even these black holes will radiate their mass into the expanding universe, through Hawking radiation, releasing their final grams of mass in extremely energetic explosions.It is theorized that even protons have a decay rate, and are ultimately not stable. Sometime in the deep, deep future, when stars are less than the most distant memory, protons themselves will release their mass/energy to the void in the form of radiation, and matter will no longer exist.From then on till eternity, the universe will be a cold, dark, expanding void, in which can be found nothing more substantial than the occasional ageing photon.This scenario of cosmic development is called the Heat Death.

What did ancient astronomers think was the center of the universe?
it is earth
Which of these astronomers described Earth as the center of the universe?
Aristotle
How long have astronomers been trying to find out what the sun orbits?
For two or three hundred years, astronomers have had a fair idea the the Sun is not the center of the Universe.
In what part is a black hole in the universe?
Astronomers believe that black holes exist in the center of every universe. They even think that there may be a black hole in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way
What astronomer described earth as the center of universe?
That was the general belief held in antiquity.
During the scientific what belief did the catholic church support?
The answer you are looking for is probably the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe, but in reality, the Church always supported the belief that God is the center of the universe, and man was His primary creation on the earth. Thus any scientific discovery had to be consistent with Christianity, as God is One, and certainly logical.
