Geocentric and Heliocentric System

by: smok

This displays two diagrams of the solar system, each showing different aspects of the celestial bodies. One diagram is focused on the geocentric system, which was a model that placed Earth at the center of the universe and described the positions of other planets in relation to it. This model was widely accepted until the 16th century when the heliocentric system was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. The heliocentric system places the Sun at the center of the solar system, with Earth and other planets orbiting around it. The diagrams showcase the relative positions of the planets in both systems, highlighting the differences between them. In the geocentric model, Earth is depicted as a central figure surrounded by the other planets, while in the heliocentric system, the Sun is at the center with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it. The diagrams provide an interesting comparison of these two models and their impact on our understanding of the solar system.
