Eudoxos was the first to “save the appearances” using a series of 27 concentric spheres on which the sun, the
moon, and the planets moved in perfect circular motion. The breakdown of the 27 spheres is as follows: one
sphere for fixed stars, three planets for the sun, three spheres for the moon, and four spheres for each of five
known planets at the time which were Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Around 140 AD, Ptolemy devised a more complex epicycle model. He defined a point on the other side of the
center of the deferent and called this as equant. The equant and the center of the earth are equidistant from
the center of the deferent. When viewed at the equant, the epicycle orbited Earth at a constant rate. Each
planet has its own epicycle and deferent.
