Answer 1

Answer:

Geocentric and Heliocentric models

Explanation:

The geocentric model, in which planet Earth is the center of the universe and is circled by the sun and all the planets, had been the accepted cosmological model since ancient times.

*The geocentric model states that the Sun and the planets move around the Earth instead of the heliocentric model with the Sun in the center.
