The correct answer is: the placement of the Sun at the center of the solar system.
To get to this answer, we need to understand the basic concepts of the heliocentric and geocentric models.
In the geocentric model, which was widely believed and accepted for many centuries, the Earth was believed to be the center of the universe and all celestial bodies, including the Sun, Moon, and planets, were thought to revolve around it in circular orbits. This model was supported by ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Ptolemy.
However, in the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea of a heliocentric model, where the Sun, rather than the Earth, was at the center of the solar system. According to this model, the Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits.
So, the main distinguishing feature of the heliocentric model is that it places the Sun at the center of the solar system, while the geocentric model places the Earth at the center.
