Question

Which of the following is a part of both geocentric model and heliocentric model?

Earth is the center of the solar system.
The sun is the center of the solar system.
Astronomical bodies travel in straight paths.
The bodies in space move in circular orbits.

Answer 1

It would be the bodies in space move in circular orbits.

The first choices is only part of the geocentric, the 2nd heliocentric, and the 3rd is completely false for both models.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D, The bodies in space move in circular orbits.

Reason -

In a geocentric model it is believed that all planets in the solar system lies around the center point i.e. sun. These planets rotate around the sun in a circular path. Likewise in a heliocentric model it is believed that the sun is at the center of the universe and the planet earth along with all other planet move around it. Thus in both geocentric model and heliocentric model bodies in space move in circular orbits.
