the picture above shows a heliocentric solar system. the difference between a heliocentric and a geocentric model is that the geocentric model shows earth in the middle of the solar system and all the heavenly bodies orbiting it and the heliocentric model shows a sun-centered solar system with the planets orbiting it.
