Here’s a breakdown of the statements and their corresponding models:
Geocentric Model
- Earth is at the center of this model.
- The sun, stars and moon move in a perfectly circular path at the same speed.
Heliocentric Model
- Proposed by Copernicus, the sun is at the center of this model.
Cyclic Model
- This theory of formation says the Earth will stop expanding and contract back to a single point.
Big Bang Theory
- The most widely accepted scientific theory of how the Universe began.
- The amount of cosmic radiation present in the Universe supports this theory.
- According to this theory, the universe is still expanding.
This classification summarizes the key characteristics of each of the four models discussed.
