Answer:

According to geocentric Earth is the center of universe, and everything revolves around it, while according the heliocentric model sun is the center of universe and everything revolves around the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geocentric model was mostly used during the medieval period because the theory was supported by the church. Although ancient Greek philosophers already presented heliocentric theory, it was not until the period of Copernicus and Galilei this theory was widely accepted.
