The Ptolemaic system, developed by the ancient Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy, is a geocentric model of the universe that posits the Earth as the center of all celestial bodies. In this system, the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars orbit the Earth in complex paths called epicycles. This model was widely accepted for many centuries until it was eventually replaced by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, which placed the Sun at the center of the solar system. The Ptolemaic system exemplifies the historical progression of astronomical thought and the quest to understand our place in the universe.
Eudoxus of Cnidus, a student of Plato, developed the system of concentric spheres in his attempt to explain planetary motion and the movements of the stars. This system later influenced the Ptolemaic astronomical model, which incorporated epicycles to account for observed planetary motion.
Stop asking the same things I need for my World Religions class :(
It was Claudius Ptolemy, 98-160. His Ptolemaic system describing the planets' movements among the stars was generally accepted for about 1400 years. Until the computer age, the Ptolemaic model was also used in planetariums.

The Ptolemaic system or the geocentric systemÊargues that the orbital center of the universe is the Earth. The system states that the moon, the other planets, the sun, andÊthe stars circled the Earth.
The Ptolemaic system belived that the earth was the center of everything and all the planet and sun traveled around it and the copernican system belived that the sun was the center of everything and the planets and traveled around the sun.
In Copernican scheme, the sun is the center of the solar system, while in the Ptolemaic system, the earth is the center of the universe and all the bodies of the universe revolve around it :) -iloveu armstrong11-12 Munsci :)

Ptolemaic Kingdom was created in 305.
Ptolemaic Terrascope was created in 1989.
That description is the geocentric model, a.k.a geocentrism or the Ptolemaic system.
