    The document defines key terms related to planetary orbits and spirographs: geocentric refers to an Earth-centered solar system model, while heliocentric is a sun-centered model which is now the traditional view; helical orbits involve the sun orbiting around the galaxy; and spirographs are gear-like disks that create patterns as a pen moves along templates, with hypotrochoids tracing inner curves and epitrochoids tracing outer curves.
