Answer 1

Answer:

In the heliocentrice model of the solar system, the planets are shown orbiting around the sun, while in the geocentric model the planets and the sun are shown orbiting around the earth.

The geocentric model proposed a universe that orbitated around the earth, putting humans and our planet in the center of the universe, the geocentrice model was believed for most of ancient history and civilizations and up until the medieval ages, when Copernicus plubished a book where he proposed that the center of the universe was actually the Sun and that the planets and stars orbitated around it.

Answer 2

In the geocentric model of the solar system, the Earth is seen as the center of the solar system. In the heliocentric model, the sun is shown as the center of the solar system. This model was discovered to be correct with scientific discovery. Both models show other planets orbiting around the sun or Earth.
