The name for the model of a solar system in which planets (and the Sun) revolve around the Earth is called geocentric. Modern astronomy rejects the idea, dating back to Copernicus who was a proponent of the notion that the planets orbited around the Sun (heliocentric). The heliocentric model is thus also called the Copernican, and the geocentric (with models presented most famously by Aristotle and Ptolemy) is called the Ptolemaic.
