Please write a brief summary explaining both models of the Solar System, comparing and contrasting both theories. Please also explain how new evidence allowed for the model to change. Is this model absolutely correct in today's world?


 * Geocentric or Heliocentric**

There are two models of the solar system, geocentric and heliocentric. Geo means "earth" and centric means "center" therefore the theory of a geocentric model of Earth means that Earth would be the center of everything. Next, helio means "sun" and centric continues to mean "center." With this information, Heliocentric is the theory that the sun is the center of the entire solar system. Telescopes support the heliocentric theory as well as modern technology that proves that the sun is the center of the solar system, making this theory true. The geocentric model stated that everything orbited the Earth, this theory was supported by philosophers. In contrast, the heliocentric theory was supported by scientists instead.Both of these theories could be supported, however, only one of them is accurate.
