Why was the geocentric model accepted for more than a thousand years?(1 point)

The geocentric model was accepted for more than a thousand years primarily because **it correctly explained the motion of the planets** as understood at the time and aligned with the observations made without modern technology. The model, which placed the Earth at the center of the universe, fitted well with the philosophical and religious beliefs of the era, especially in ancient and medieval times. It also provided a framework that, despite inaccuracies, was able to predict planetary positions reasonably well for the observational capabilities available at that time.
