It is the theory in which the earth is the center of the universe and that all the planets revolve around it including the sun. this theory was developed by Aristotle.
Geocentric theory basically stated that the Earth was at the center of the universe, and that the sun, moon, planets, and other heavenly bodies revolved around it. This theory was believed extensively during the middle ages.

What does the geocentric model of the solar system look like?
That's the idea that Earth is in the center, and other objects move in complicated paths around Earth.
What is a geocentric model who came up with it?
A geocentric model places the Earth as the center axis of the universe. It originated with Anaximander.
Why does the geocentric system use epicycles when the heliocentric does not?
The geocentric system uses epicycles in order to create a model in which the earth is in the center of the solar system and the planets and sun look the way they actually look from the earth with the naked eye. The idea of epicycles was added by Ptolemy because without them his model was not consistent with what the ancients recorded about the position of the planets, the sun and the moon. It was important that the model be consistent with observation since the model was used for navigation and land travel. Once the telescope came into being it was evident that the geocentric model (which included the epicycles) was not consistent with was now observable in the sky, such as the way that Venus looked at different times of years (the phases of Venus). Therefore the geocentric model was abandoned for the heliocentric model. The heliocentric model's predicted movements that were closer to what was observable with the new technology. The heliocentric model does not "need" epicycles, in fact they would lead to false predictions inconsistent with what was observable.
Who proposed the geocentric model of the universe?
The geocentric model of the universe was proposed by ancient Greek astronomers like Aristotle and Ptolemy. This model placed the Earth at the center of the universe with celestial bodies orbiting around it.
About the hliocentric and geocentric?
The heliocentric model places the Sun at the center of the solar system, with planets orbiting around it. In contrast, the geocentric model positions Earth at the center of the universe, with celestial bodies, including the Sun, revolving around it. The heliocentric model was proposed by astronomers like Copernicus and Galileo and marked a significant shift in understanding the cosmos.
Did Aristotle support the heilocentric and geocentric model?
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.
What geocentric model of the earth is?
There is no geocentric model of the earth!
What does the geocentric model of the solar system look like?
That's the idea that Earth is in the center, and other objects move in complicated paths around Earth.
Why has the heliocentric model been replaced with the geocentric model?
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
What is a description of the solar system in which all planets revolve around Earth?
Geocentric model. This has earth at the centre. We now know this not to be true.
