In a Geocentric Model, the Earth is considered the center of the universe, and all celestial bodies, including the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, revolve around it. This model was prominent in ancient astronomy, particularly from the time of Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD until the Copernican Revolution in the 16th century, which proposed the Heliocentric Model that placed the Sun at the center of the solar system. In the Geocentric view, the universe is structured around the Earth, making it the focal point of cosmological observations and interpretations.
