what are the similarities between geocentric and heliocentric?
447109
Both were created by a Greek astronomer. Both are ways to display the Universe. The models both contain 3 main objects: Earth, Sun, and other planets. Planets orbit in some way.

The most highly developed geocentric model was that of Ptolemy of Alexandria (2nd century ce). It was generally accepted until the 16th century, after which it was superseded by heliocentric models such as that of Nicolaus Copernicus.

Terrestrial- The orbits are closer together, smaller diameter, more dense, rotate slower, thin/no atmosphere, composed of mostly rock and metallic substances, with some gases and ices. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars all are small and made of rocky metallic substances with minor amounts of gases and ices.

Under the geocentric model, the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets all orbited Earth. ... First, from anywhere on Earth, the Sun appears to revolve around Earth once per day. While the Moon and the planets have their own motions, they also appear to revolve around Earth about once per day.

The size, mass, composition and rotation of Uranus and Neptune are in fact so similar that they are often called planetary twins. These parameters lie between those of the Earth and the giants Jupiter and Saturn.

The terrestrial planets are all composed of solid materials such as rock or silicate, contain metals throughout their crusts, and all possess a solid surface. Another similarity is that all travel around the sun in a oval, or elliptic, orbit, and at various eccentricities.

Jupiter and the sun are both very similar in their overall composition, as they are both made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The sun has a core that is so hot that it causes hydrogen to separate into individual electrons and protons; Jupiter's core is made of liquid metallic hydrogen.

So the similarity of the planets and the dwarf planets are they are both mostly round because they have sufficient gravity to flatten their own surfaces into a sphere. The differences are that planets are big enough to clear the whole region of space where they orbit the sun whereas dwarf planets do not.

The main similarities are that they all have solid surfaces, are fairly similar in size, especially when compared with the Outer Planets, possess a small number of moons and take a relatively short length of time to complete an orbit around the Sun. In space terms, they are also quite close to each other.

What differentiates terrestrial planets from Jovian planets? Terrestrial planets are smaller, denser, and closer to the Sun than Jovian planets, which are larger, less dense, and farther from the Sun.

A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits. ... A geosynchronous orbit is an orbit around Earth of a satellite with an orbital period that matches Earth's rotation on its axis, which takes one sidereal day.

The Sun is made of burning gases, mostly hydrogen and helium, while the Earth and the Moon are terrestrial, or rocky. The Sun rotates on its axis, as do the Earth and Moon, however it is the center of the solar system and does not revolve or orbit another object.

A geostationary satellite follows a geostationary orbit, that is a circular geosynchronous orbit directly above the Earth's equator with an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotation period. A polar satellite follows a polar orbit, that is an orbit passing above both Earth poles on each revolution.

The Scientific Revolution began in astronomy. Although there had been earlier discussions of the possibility of Earth's motion, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to propound a comprehensive heliocentric theory equal in scope and predictive capability to Ptolemy's geocentric system.

The geocentric model says that the earth is at the center of the cosmos or universe, and the planets, the sun and the moon, and the stars circles around it. The early heliocentric models consider the sun as the center, and the planets revolve around the sun.
