The three correct answers that describe Aristotle's model of the solar system are:

  1. The stars are attached to the outermost sphere.
  2. Earth is at the center.
  3. Each planet is attached to a crystalline sphere.

These options accurately reflect Aristotle's geocentric model, where the Earth is at the center of the universe, with the stars and planets embedded in concentric crystalline spheres that rotate around the Earth.
