The Geocentric theory asserts on the idea that the Earth is the center of the Solar System. The geocentric theory first started with the Greeks, mainly the philosopher Ptolemy in his Ptolemaic system, popular model of this theory. In which Ptolemy suggested that the circular pattern of the whole system shaped and equant –a mid of an epicycle moves at a constant and similar speed. But when Copernicus’ heliocentric model of the solar system came about, this theory was abandoned. As the scientific society has proven that Copernicus theory was more precise with the use of telescopes, and etc. proved that the Sun was indeed the center of the universe. Supported by different space expeditions this model was long forgotten.  <span> </span>

The statement “force equals mass times acceleration” is Newton’s second law of motion. Why is this a law rather than a theory?
Korolek [52]
The correct option is D.
A scientific theory refers to an in depth explanation of a specific observed phenomenon while a scientific law refers to a statement about a particular observed phenomenon. Scientific laws are usually presented in form of mathematical expressions for the observed phenomenon; examples of these are Newton's law of gravity, Mendel's law of independent assortment, etc. Scientific law basically describes the observations that are made and these observations are usually similar to other related observations.
