The two correct statements are:

  1. They both are models of the solar system.
  2. They both show the position of Earth relative to the Sun.

The geocentric model places Earth at the center, while the heliocentric model places the Sun at the center. Therefore, the statements about both models showing Earth or the Sun at the center are not true for both.
