Aristotle observed that the sun, stars, planets and the moon all appeared to move across the sky. Which of these statements was a conclusion he drew from these observations?

Question

-the sun revolves around earth
-the planets revolve around the sun
-the stars are always the same distance from the sun
-the moon is always the same distance from the sun

Answer 1

From his observations, Aristotle concluded that "the sun revolves around the earth." He was a proponent of the geocentric model of the universe, in which Earth was at the center, and all celestial bodies, including the sun, revolved around it. The other statements relate to heliocentric or other models which were not part of Aristotle's conclusions.
