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.

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?
