Can or cannot the daily path of stars around Polaris be explained by the geocentric model of the solar system?
Yes, the daily path of stars around Polaris can be explained by the geocentric model of the solar system. In this model, Earth is at the center and stars move in perfect circles around it due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This motion creates the illusion of stars moving around Polaris.
In which model of the solar system does venus show a full range of phases from full to new geocentric or heliocentric?
The answer is - both. That is because Tycho Brahe had a geocentric theory that explained the full range of phases for Venus, but also the theories of Copernicus and Kepler both explained the phases of Venus.The only theory which did not explain the full range of phases was the old Ptolemaic theory (Historikeren 16-07-2015).
Who was the first to prove that the geocentric theory was right?
The geocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth was the center of the universe, was supported by many ancient astronomers, including Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. Ptolemy's geocentric model, known as the Ptolemaic system, successfully explained the movements of celestial bodies for centuries until it was eventually replaced by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century.
What is a geocentric model who came up with it?
A geocentric model places the Earth as the center axis of the universe. It originated with Anaximander.
How did data gathered using Galileo's early telescope support the helioentric model?
None of it but Galileo's discoveries with the telescope were very important in raising questions about the old Ptolemaic theory, which was geocentric. However Galileo's discovery of Venus's phases was not a proof of the heliocentric principle because Tycho produced a geocentric model that explained Venus's phases.
What are the contributions of Eudoxus in geocentric theory?
He created a model for the universe that explained retrograde motion if Earth was at the centre.
What geocentric model of the earth is?
There is no geocentric model of the earth!

Did Aristotle support the heilocentric and geocentric model?
Aristotle supported the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. He did not propose a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center. It was later astronomers like Copernicus who challenged the geocentric model in favor of a heliocentric one.

Why has the heliocentric model been replaced with the geocentric model?
The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.
What is a description of the solar system in which all planets revolve around Earth?
Geocentric model. This has earth at the centre. We now know this not to be true.

Geocentric model holds that the earth is the center of the univers?
Yes, that's what "geocentric" means.
Can seasons be explained by geocentric model?
Yes, very easily. The explanation would be WRONG, of course, since the Earth isn't the center of the universe, but it's certainly possible to explain the seasons using it.
