The correct response is: The heliocentric model correctly showed the sun at the center of the solar system.

This was a significant improvement over the geocentric model, which placed the Earth at the center, leading to numerous complications in explaining planetary motion. The heliocentric model provided a more accurate and simpler explanation of the observed movements of celestial bodies.
