1 answer

Here’s how the items are classified according to Aristotle's and Ptolemy's models of the solar system:

Aristotle's Model:

  • geocentric
  • planets fixed on nested spheres

Ptolemy's Model:

  • geocentric
  • planets fixed on epicycles
  • accurately predicted positions of the planets

Both:

  • geocentric

You would place:

  • "geocentric" in both Aristotle's Model and Ptolemy's Model
  • "planets fixed on nested spheres" in Aristotle's Model
  • "planets fixed on epicycles" in Ptolemy's Model
  • "accurately predicted positions of the planets" in Ptolemy's Model
