The Ptolemaic Model followed a geocentric model of the solar system.

This was then challenged by Nicolaus Copernicus, who claimed a heliocentric model which sparked an integral part of the Scientific Revolution called, the Copernican Revolution.

Copernicus' proposal was followed by the Tychonic Model, with attempted to compromise with the geo- and heliocentric models.

Then, Kepler improved by suggesting elliptical orbits.

The Copernican Revolution came to a close with further speculation from Galileo Galilei and Isaac newton

Whose geocentric model of the solar system was accepted for 1400years?

The geocentric model of the solar system that was accepted for about 1,400 years was developed by Claudius Ptolemy, a Greco-Roman astronomer, in the 2nd century AD. In this model, Earth is positioned at the center of the universe, with the Sun, Moon, and planets orbiting around it. Ptolemy's system was widely influential and remained the dominant astronomical paradigm until the Copernican heliocentric model gained acceptance in the 16th century.


What is the difference between the Ptolemy and Copernicus models of the solar system?
