This model simply claims that Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun.It is clear, nowadays, that the Sun is the center of the "Solar System", but not of the Universe.
It is also clear that the Sun is not the EXACT center - the Sun and the planets move around the center of mass of the Solar System, which is very close to the Sun due to its larger mass, compared to other objects.
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.
I believe you are confusing two things here; there is no such thing as a "heliocentric model of telescope". There is a heliocentric model of our Solar System, and there are telescopes. The two are unrelated.
Johanes Kepler was a German astronomer. He revised the heliocentric model by demonstrating that the orbits are ellipses. glad if that helped you out :) xx
Are there any civilized peoples on earth who do not?
Either the heliocentric or the geocentric model would allow predictions of thefuture motions of the planets. It was not the inability to predict that sackedthe geocentric model. It was the simplicity of the heliocentric model. Kepler'shypothetical ellipses helped a lot, and Newton's gravitation sealed the deal,when he showed that heliocentric, elliptical planetary orbits, just as Keplerdescribed them, had to spring forth from gravitation.
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.
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.
Copernicus
Johannes Kepler
Copernicus discussed the concept of a heliocentric universe in his written work.
A heliocentric model is a model of the solar system where the Sun is at the center and the planets orbit around it. This is in contrast to the geocentric model, where Earth is considered to be the center of the universe.
Galileo is famous for observing and proving his heliocentric model of the universe. After his observation the existing model of the universe was slowly phased out.
Johannes Kepler
A heliocentric model of the universe. Church believed in a geocentric model.

Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
The current model of the solar system is the "heliocentric system" meaning sun is the center of the solar system. Hope this helps :)
