Ptolemy calculated the Sun to be the 4th object from the Earth, in between Venus and Mars.
The heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model. Copernicus suggested that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was at the center of the solar system.
Earth was the center of the universe
Scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center, while Galileo's observations through a telescope supported this idea, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.
Ptolemy's view of the universe is that all celestial objects, including planets, stars, the Sun and the Moon orbit the Earth.
Ptolemy's biggest discovery was his geocentric model of the universe, which believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe with planets and stars moving around it in circular orbits. This model dominated Western astronomy for over a thousand years.

Earth was the center of the universe
Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the moon.No. The above answer is incorrect.Copernicus's model thought that the planets orbited the sun. Ptolemy's model thought that the planets orbited the EARTH in epicycles. Not the moon. (The model that modeled the planets orbiting earth was the Geocentric model. Aristotle theorized this.)Copernicus's model is known as the Heliocentric model. Ptolemy's theory of epicycles is when the planets revolved in large circles around Earth.

Ptolemy's model is different from the earlier Greek model because Ptolemy developed a compllex geocentric model of the universe and his model seemed to explain motions until the 1500s.The early Greek astronomers believed that Earth was the center of the universe.

The geocentric model stated that Earth was the center of the universe, and all other bodies revolved around it.Ptolemy thought that the rest of the universe spun in nested circles around the Earth, with the Sun and stars much closer than they actually are.
The first scientist to dispute Ptolemy's geocentric model was Nicolaus Copernicus. In the early 16th century, Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model, placing the Sun at the center of the universe and suggesting that the Earth and other planets revolve around it. His work, particularly the publication of "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" in 1543, laid the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution and fundamentally changed our understanding of the cosmos.
