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.
