What was the earth centered model created by Ptolemy called?

The earth-centered model created by Ptolemy is called the Ptolemaic model or geocentric model. It proposed that the Earth was the center of the universe, with all celestial bodies moving around it in circular orbits.


What type of model is a heliocentric?

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.


In the geocentric model the earth at the center of the universe which motion would occur?

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.


What is called the true model of the Earth?

The true model of the earth would be called an oblate spheroid. The earth is close to spherical, but bulges a little around the middle (equator). There is also a term for the theoretical 'average earth' if you will, that is the best possible fit between mathematical model and the actual physical planet. It is called the geoid. Surface altitude is calculated for a given spot based not on the physical earth, but on the location of the theoretical geoid at that spot.
