Geocentrism places Earth at the center of the planetary system. Heliocentrism, correctly, places the sun at the center, hence: the Solar System.

What is the difference between the big bang theory and the geocentric theory?

The "geocentric theory" refers to the discarded notion that the Earth is at the center of the universe. The Big Bang theory is the model that explains how the universe is basically homogeneous in all directions, and that there is no topological center or preferred place of observation in the universe.


What old belief about the universe did the new discoveries destroy?

they went against the long accepted geocentric theory.


What is the difference between the Heliocentric theory and the Copernican theory?

The heliocentric 'theory' is not really a theory at all, more an assertion that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system. Copernicus's theory assumes that the Sun is at the centre and provides a model of the planets' orbits that uses circles and epicycles to explain the observed orbits. He said it was simpler than the old "geocentric" (Earth centred) Ptolemaic system, but it was not really, it actually had more epicycles. Note: Perhaps the questioner got mixed up. The Copernican theory IS a heliocentric theory. Perhaps the question is about the geocentric theory and the Copernican theory. Anyway, Kepler simplified the heliocentric theory and now we know that his model is correct.


How are Copernicus theory and Ptolemy theory have in common'?

Well copernicus s theory was the heliocentric theory which is that the sun is center and the planets and stars revolve around it ptomely s idea was the geocentric theory which is that the earth is center and other planets and stars revolve around the earth


Was brane's theory geocentric or heliocentric?

Brane theory is not a cosmological model but a theoretical framework in theoretical physics that suggests the existence of additional dimensions beyond the known four dimensions (three of space and one of time). It is not related to the geocentric or heliocentric nature of the solar system.

What is the main difference between the heliocentric theory in the geocentric theory?

The main difference - is the centre of the galaxy. The heliocentric theory placed the Sun at the centre of our galaxy - the previous 'geocentric' theory placed the Earth at the centre.


What is the Helicentric theory of the solar system?

No such thing as "helicentric"The heliocentric theory states that the Sun (helios) is the center of the solar system (or the universe if you are talking about ancient heliocentric theories - before the knowledge of other star systems and galaxies).

Was Albert Einstein a geocentric theorist?

Einstein admitted there is no difference between geocentric and non geocentric as they are both relative to the observer in a closed system such as our universe. There is no way to tell if either is true unless one is outside the universe looking in.
