Answer 1

The two false statements about the geocentric model are:

1. **It shows the Sun at the center of the solar system.**
2. **It shows Earth at the center of the solar system.**

In the geocentric model, Earth is indeed at the center of the solar system, while the Sun, moon, and stars orbit around it. The other two statements relate to aspects of how the planets move and their orbits in the geocentric context.
