Question

According to Ptolemy , the sun

Answer 1

According to Ptolemy , the sun orbites around the Earth, which is the centre of the universe.

Ptolemy was a Greco-Roman astronomer and mathematician that introduced the geocentric model, describing a universe where the Earth was located at the center, while the Sun, the moon, and other planets and stars, all orbited around the Earth. It was the predominant model of universe in the ancient civilizations.

From the 16th century on, Ptolemy's model was gradually substituted by the heliocentric model of Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler, which offers an alternative view of universe, by describing a solar system where the sun is in the centre, while the Earth, the moon, and the other planets orbit around it.

Answer 2

According to Ptolemy, the sun was not in the center of the universe. The earth was, and all the planets revolved around the sun. Hope this is correct and it helps!
