oblate spheroid
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.
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.
Such principle of belief that earth is the centre of the solar system is geocentrism. The model is called a Geocentric model.

a 3D scale model of earth
A model is like a small version of the real thing. For example, a globe is a model of the Earth.

A small flat copy of the Earth is called a map. It is a representation of the Earth's surface, showing geographical features and locations in a scaled-down form.
