Geocentric is the belief that the earth is the center of the Solar System. We get that from Geo- earth and Centric- center. Some people who supported this were Aristotle and Ptolemy. They believed that the sun, stars, planets, comets, and meteors all had heir own spheres and all revolved around the earth. The Heliocentric belief is the present theory where the sun is the center of the Solar System and all the stars, planets, comets, and meteors have their own orbit that revolves around the sun rather the earth. Some people who believed in this theory are Galileo, Copernicus, and Kelper. This is the prominent theory for today.
