In astronomy, the geocentric model or the Ptolemaic worldview of the universe is the superseded theory that the Earth is the center of the universe and other objects go around it. Belief in this system was common in ancient Greece. It was embraced by both Aristotle and Ptolemy, and most Ancient Greek philosophers assumed that the Sun, Moon, stars, and naked eye planets circle the Earth. Similar ideas were held in ancient China.
Two common observations were believed to support the idea that the Earth is in the center of the Universe: The first observation is that the stars, sun, and planets appear to revolve around the Earth each day, with the stars circling around the pole and those stars nearer the equator rising and setting each day and circling back to their rising point.[2]; the second is the common sense perception that the Earth is solid and stable it is not moving-but is at rest. The geocentric model was usually combined with a spherical Earth by ancient Greek and medieval philosophers. It is not the same as the older flat Earth model implied in some mythology. The ancient Greeks believed that the motions of the planets were circular and not elliptical, a view that was not challenged in western culture before the 17th century. The geocentric model held sway into the early modern age; from the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced by the heliocentric model of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. Today, geocentric cosmology survives as a literary element within alternate history and science fiction. By Edem Uboh(Lead City University,Ibadan.)
Heliocentric means "sun-centered" and puts the planets in an orbit around the sun. Geocentric is an ancient model, invented by Ptolemy, that means "earth-centered" and puts the Earth at the center of the universe with the sun and planets orbiting it. The geocentric model was based off religion and was proven wrong by Copernicus in the fifteenth century.
They differ in what or that they [each in turn] consider to be the Object around which all other celestial bodies revolve.
In the heliocentric view, the Sun is the centre.
In the geocentric view, the Earth is the centre.
No, he developed therious on te heliocentric universe
Neither, The Geocentric theory was created by a student of 'Plato's' by the name of Ptolemy. The Heliocentric theory was by Copernicus.
most scientist believe in the heliocentric more than the geocentric
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.
For me, it depends on what you mean by the heliocentric view. If it is that the Sun is at the centre and the planets revolve around it, then, no, the Creationist view and the Heliocentric view are not in conflict. It's only when you start looking into theories of how the Sun/planets and in fact the universe started that you can get conflict..
Geocentric: Earth is center of the solar system. Heliocentric: Sun is the centre of the solar system.
No, he developed therious on te heliocentric universe
in a heliocentric system earth and the other planets revolving planet's a geocentric system ,earth is at the center of the revolving planets
The proposed the heliocentric system.
Heliocentric = The Sun is at the center of our solar system. Geocentric = The Earth is at the center of our solar system. Insisting the Sun is at the center, which it is, once very much angered the church.
Heliocentric is a synonym of geocentric.
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.

No, Plato did not believe in the heliocentric theory. Plato believed in a geocentric view of the universe, where the Earth was at the center and all celestial bodies orbited around it.
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.
