openmic Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 Yeah i take Earth Science. and i was asked to compare the geocentric model with the heliocentric model... What???? If you need to know we're discussing over solar system....
hybrid04 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 geocentric, earth is center. heliocentric sun is the center. The previous was supported by religions because it allowed heaven to be above earth so you just went up. Heliocentric was supported by many including those such as copernicus and was used to explian certain phenomenon which couldnt be explained in a geocentric system. Perhaps you should show some of your own points and some confusion instead of a blanket wide open question and ask someone to do your homework.
Kyrisch Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 The geocentric model was developed with the earth as it's center and the planets appearance of "retrograde motion" which is the apparent reverse of direction cause by the fact that everything actually orbits around the sun. Which is was the heliocentric model describes. Get it? geo=earth, helio=sun. Why can't you just wiki it?
