What is the Geocentric Theory?
The Geocentric theory is a model of the universe where the Earth is the center and all other celestial bodies orbit it. Celestial bodies include planets, moon, and stars.
Geo= Earth Centric= Center
Epicycle is a circular model used to explain the variations in speed and direction of the apparent motion of the sun, moon, and planets.
