Answer 1

The correct statement about Aristotle's and Ptolemy's models of the solar system is:

Ptolemy's model involved epicycles moving along perfect circles.

Aristotle's model placed the Earth at the center of the universe (geocentric model) and did not include epicycles; instead, it involved crystalline spheres. Ptolemy also had a geocentric model but introduced epicycles to account for the irregular movements of planets.
