Step-by-step explanation:

Both were created by a Greek astronomer. Both are ways to display the Universe. The models both contain 3 main objects: Earth, Sun, and other planets. Planets orbit in some way.The geocentric model says that the earth is at the center of the cosmos or universe, and the planets, the sun and the moon, and the stars circles around it. The early heliocentric models consider the sun as the center, and the planets revolve around the sun.
