    The document discusses the Ptolemaic geocentric model of the solar system. It does not include the planets Uranus and Neptune. The Ptolemaic model is different from the present model in two key ways - it placed Earth at the center rather than the Sun, and it used epicycles to explain retrograde motion rather than elliptical orbits.
