The geocentric model, also known as the Ptolemaic system, is a theory that was developed by philosophers in Ancient Greece and was named after the philosopher Claudius Ptolemy who lived circa 90 to 168 A.D. It was developed to explain how the planets, the Sun, and even the stars orbit around the Earth. The geocentric theory has existed even before Ptolemy though. This model has been described in various early Greek manuscripts, and as early as the 4th century B.C.
The heliocentric theory, on the other hand, states that the earth revolves around the Sun. The first advocate of a heliocentric model was Aristarchus of Samos in ancient Greece. Centuries later, Nicholaus Copernicus developed a geometric model of the heliocentric theory during the Renaissance.
