Both models stated that the planets and objects in the solar system have small orbits called epicycles.
Both models stated that the Sun is the center of the system around which objects have elliptical orbits.

Answer 1

Both models stated that Earth is the center of the system around which other objects orbit.

Explanation: Aristotle proposed a geocentric universe with celestial spheres carrying the planets around a stationary Earth. Ptolemy also used a geocentric framework, later refining it with deferents and epicycles to match observations.
