Aristotle and Copernicus' models both described the Earth and the other planets orbiting the sun.*20 pointsTrueFalse

False. Aristotle's model described an Earth-centered (geocentric) universe where the Earth was at the center and the Sun, stars, and planets orbited around it. In contrast, Copernicus proposed a sun-centered (heliocentric) model, where the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. So, while Copernicus' model correctly depicted the Earth and other planets orbiting the Sun, Aristotle's model did not.
