The geocentric model, also known as the Ptolemaic system, is a theory that was developed by philosophers in Ancient Greece and was named after the philosopher Claudius Ptolemy who lived circa 90 to 168 A.D. It was developed to explain how the planets, the Sun, and even the stars orbit around the Earth. The geocentric theory has existed even before Ptolemy though. This model has been described in various early Greek manuscripts, and as early as the 4th century B.C.
Nicolaus Copernicus (b. 1473âd. 1543) was the first modern author to propose a heliocentric theory of the universe. From the time that Ptolemy of Alexandria (c. 150 CE) constructed a mathematically competent version of geocentric astronomy to Copernicusâs mature heliocentric version (1543), experts knew that the Ptolemaic system diverged from the geocentric concentric-sphere conception of Aristotle.
