Answer:

geocentric model

In astronomy, the geocentric model (also known as geocentrism, often exemplified specifically by the Ptolemaic system) is a superseded description of the Universe with Earth at the center. Under the geocentric model, the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets all orbited Earth.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B. Geocentric

Step-by-step explanation:

Geo means Earth, and centric means "in the center". So a geocentric model of the solar system would mean the Earth were at the center of the solar system, with the Sun and planets revolving around the Earth.
