    The Heliocentric Model of The Solar System

    The document discusses the transition from the initial geocentric model of the solar system, which placed Earth at the center, to the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, in which the Sun is at the center with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it. It addresses key aspects of the original geocentric model including Aristotle's proposal of Earth as the center, the phenomenon of retrograde motion, and the relationship between the celestial sphere and the plane of the ecliptic. The document also mentions how the heliocentric model explains Earth's motions and seasons.
