Heliocentric vs Geocentric Model
Learning outcomes:
Understand the religious and historical influences over
the Geocentric Model, through astronomy figures like Eudoxus, Aristotle, and
Ptolemy. Recognize the limitations of Geocentrism such as complex epicycles and
stellar parallax.
Understand Copernicus’s observations that led to the heliocen-
tric model, the sun centred system. Galileo, Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe’s
discoveries that modified the model. Understand how changing positions of outer
planets, annual motion of stars, and seasonal changes serve as examples of the
heliocentric model.

amongst each other to help prove the heliocentric model?
A. Changing positions of outer planets
B. Stellar parallax
C. Annual Motion of stars
D. Ecliptic consistency with the plane of Earth’s orbit
E. Retrograde motion
2. What key contribution did Johannes Kepler make to the refinement of the
Heliocentric model?
A. Tychonic system
B. Retrograde motion
C. Complex epicycles and deferents
D. 3 laws of planetary motion
E. Geocentric revival
3. Which astronomer suggested the Tychonic system as a compromise between
geocentrism and heliocentrism?
A. Galileo Galilei
B. Copernicus
C. Johannes Kepler
D. Tycho Brahe
E. ”Ecliptic” consistency with the plane of Earth’s orbit
4. Which astronomer was sentenced to house arrest by the Catholic Church due
to their belief in Heliocentrism?
