It was in orbit around the earth.
In the geocentric model, the motion of the celestial bodies would occur in complex patterns around the Earth. This model posited that the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all revolved around the Earth in circular orbits. The geocentric model was later disproven by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.
Ptolemy created the Geocentric model in 2AD
The geocentric model can explain the apparent motion of celestial bodies, such as the Sun, Moon, and stars, appearing to move across the sky from east to west. This model posits that the Earth is at the center of the universe, and as these bodies orbit around it, they create the illusion of daily motion. Additionally, the retrograde motion of planets can be accounted for by the relative positions and movements of Earth and the other planets in this framework. However, this model struggles to explain some phenomena, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.
Aristotle said the earth was in the center. Ptolemy supported Aristotle and added to it. Copernicus said the sun was in the middle. Galileo also said the sun was in the center and added to Copernicus.
Copernicus proposed that the sun is motionless at the center of the solar system, with the Earth and other planets orbiting around it in circular paths. This concept of heliocentrism was a departure from the prevailing geocentric model at the time.

Well, let's paint a happy little picture here. In the geocentric model, Earth is believed to be the center of the universe, with all other planets and the Sun revolving around it. On the other hand, in the heliocentric model, the Sun is at the center, and Earth and other planets orbit around it. Both models have their own beauty and history, showing us how our understanding of the cosmos has evolved over time.

Aristotle supported the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. He did not propose a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center. It was later astronomers like Copernicus who challenged the geocentric model in favor of a heliocentric one.
"Geocentric".

Geocentric models had the earth as the center of the universe with the sun and all the planets orbiting it. Heliocentric models (the current accepted ones) have the sun as the center, with the earth and planets orbiting it.
because he thought that if more people believe in the geocentric model then his theory would but correct. because he thought that if more people believe in the geocentric model then his theory would but correct.
geocentric model, where the sun and other planets orbited the Earth.
The heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century positioned the Sun at the center of the solar system, with the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. This model replaced the geocentric model which had Earth at the center.
Aristotle said the earth was in the center. Ptolemy supported Aristotle and added to it. Copernicus said the sun was in the middle. Galileo also said the sun was in the center and added to Copernicus.
