The Geocentric theory is the out of date idea that the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars all revolve round the Earth. Geocentrism is connected with the Ancient Greek Philosopher,Pholemy and was widely accepted in the Ancient world up to the end of the Mediaeval era. By this notion of course the Earth isn't a planet and the sun isn't a star. At least those who accept the Geocentrictheory accept that the Earth isn't flat.

abstract	The Geocentric theory is the obsolete idea that the sun, moon, planets and stars all revolve round the Earth. Geocentrism imagines the Earth isn't a planet and the sun isn't a star. Geocentrism is connected with the Ancient Greek philosopher Ptolemy and was widely accepted in the up to the end of the Middle Ages. People who understand Science gave up the geocentric theory after the discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. This happened especially after Kepler's system gave better predictions for the movements of planets than previous systems. The first new Theory was the Heliocentric theory that the sun was the centre of the universe. (Today we know the sun is the centre of the Solar System only and isn't near the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy or in any special place in the universe.) The Geocentric theory is the out of date idea that the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars all revolve round the Earth. Geocentrism is connected with the Ancient Greek Philosopher,Pholemy and was widely accepted in the Ancient world up to the end of the Mediaeval era. By this notion of course the Earth isn't a planet and the sun isn't a star. At least those who accept the Geocentrictheory accept that the Earth isn't flat.
