All the stars are fixed to a sphere, which rotates once in 24 hours.
It was in orbit around the earth.
Ptolemy created the Geocentric model in 2AD
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.
It was explained by the geocentric model, for thousands of years, in a way thatwas easy to understand, intuitively satisfying, and matched observation perfectly:The stars are points of light, glued to the inside of a giant solid bowl, which rotatesaround the earth once a day.Only a few objects in the sky are not glued to the same bowl: The sun, moon, and planets.
He created a model for the universe that explained retrograde motion if Earth was at the centre.

Geocentric theory was the first explanation of the solar system that completely explained and predicted the apparent motions of the planets. The church also embraced this theory and defended it against the heliocentric theory.
Early astronomers believed in the geocentric model because it appeared to explain the motion of celestial bodies in the sky. The model was supported by the apparent daily motion of the sun and stars around the Earth. Additionally, there was a philosophical and religious belief at the time that Earth was the center of the universe.

No one in particular came up with the geocentric model, which says that the earth is the center of the universe, with everything else orbiting around it. Apparent motion of the sun, moon, and stars seems to be explained by this. Many ancient civilizations believed this because it's just the intuitive way of interpreting what you see. We now know, of course, that the heliocentric model is the correct one, thanks to early scientists like Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, who took on popular notion (and the church!) in their quest for truth.

There is no geocentric model of the earth!
