The Geocentric and the Heliocentric models are descriptions of the universe known at the time when these models were developed. The main difference between the two models is the perceived center of the known universe. According to the geocentric model, Earth is the center of the known universe

Answer:

"Earth" is the Greek root word "ge", which is widely used in the English prefix "geo". Any hypothesis of the organization of the solar system (or the universe) in which Earth is thought to be at the center of it all is known as the geocentric model.

The Greek word "helios" means "sun." The sun is at the core of the heliocentric model. The planets in a heliocentric system rotate around a stationary sun. As a result, the sun is orbited by Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
