Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -A geocentric model of the universe places the Earth at a fixed position in the center of the universe, with heavenly bodies orbiting it. A heliocentric model of the universe places the Sun at the center with the planets orbiting it.
