The two observations that supported the model of Geocentricism (the belief that everything orbits around the Earth), although we now know them to be inaccurate, are:

II. Everything orbits around Earth
III. All planets orbit in a circular pattern

The geocentric model was based on the idea that all celestial bodies, including the sun and planets, revolved around the Earth, and at the time, it was believed that these orbits were circular in nature.
