The Copernican model of the solar system was a Response area model in which Earth Response area. Planets Response area, and the stars
Response area revolved around the sun. The Copernican model was a revolutionary idea that challenged the prevailing belief that Earth was the center of the universe. Instead, it proposed that Earth and the other planets orbit the sun. This model was a major shift in understanding our place in the universe and laid the foundation for our modern understanding of the solar system.
were fixed to an outermost sphere
heliocentric

geocentric
The Copernican model of the solar system was a heliocentric model in which Earth was just another planet. Planets traveled along a circular path around the sun, and the stars floated in outer space. This model challenged the geocentric belief that Earth was fixed to an outermost sphere and positioned at the center of the universe.
