The geocentric model proposed by Ptolemy placed Earth at the center of the universe, with all celestial bodies orbiting around it. However, the heliocentric model developed by Copernicus contradicted this by positioning the Sun at the center, suggesting that Earth and other planets orbit it. Further developments by Galileo, such as the observation of Jupiter's moons, and Kepler's laws of planetary motion provided additional evidence for the heliocentric model, ultimately leading to the rejection of the Ptolemaic system in favor of a more accurate understanding of the solar system's structure.
