Answer 1

The correct answer is **Heliocentric**.

The heliocentric model, proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, posits that the Earth and other planets orbit around the Sun. This model accounts for the rotation of the Earth on its axis, leading to the 24-hour day, as well as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, resulting in the annual cycle.
