==Key Stage 2==
===Meaning===
The [[Geocentric Model]] of [[The Solar System]] is an incorrect model of [[The Solar System]] where the [[Earth]] was thought to be at the centre.
===About the Geocentric Model====
: 1900 years ago an [[astronomer]] named [[Ptolemy]] made careful [[observation]]s of the 5 known [[planet]]s and all the [[Star]]s in the night's sky.
: [[Ptolemy]] used these [[observation]]s to claim that the [[Earth]] was at the centre of the [[Universe]] and [[The Solar System]] and that everything in the [[Universe]] [[orbit]]s the [[Earth]].
: Many people believed [[Ptolemy]] because it fit well with their religious beliefs that a [[god]] created the [[Earth]] before the [[Sun]], [[star]]s and [[planet]]s.
