None of the responses provided accurately describe the location of the sun according to the heliocentric model of the universe. The correct interpretation of the heliocentric model is that the sun is at the center of the solar system, not the universe.

If I had to choose the best statement from your options, it would be that the sun is at the center of the solar system, but that specific response is not included in your list.

To clarify:

  • The sun is not located at the center of the universe; rather, it is at the center of our solar system.
  • The sun is not located outside the solar system.
  • The sun is not specifically located closest to Earth compared to other celestial objects, as distance varies based on orbits.
  • Overall, the heliocentric model primarily emphasizes that planets, including Earth, revolve around the sun.
