Question
why do we no longer accept the geocentric model of the universe? it is widely accepted by most astronomers it proposed all objects orbit the sun it proposed all objects orbit the earth it proposed all objects orbit the moon
The geocentric model proposed that all objects in the universe orbit the Earth. However, with the development of astronomy and the discovery of more evidence, such as the heliocentric model supported by Galileo's observations and Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, we now know that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. The geocentric model is inconsistent with modern - day astronomical knowledge.
