System Part 1

🕮 What You Will Learn This Week

Rejected by modern science, the geocentric theory which maintained that Earth was the center of the universe, dominated
ancient and medieval science. The heliocentric model of the Solar System explains that the Sun is a stationary object in
the universe and the rest of the planets revolve around it.

Earth's rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own tilted axis. Our planet rotates towards the east, turning
counter-clockwise. While the earth is rotating on its axis, it also travels around – or revolves around the sun via an
imaginary path called orbit. This is called Earth’s revolution.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System.

At the end of the week, you are expected to be able to do the following:
1. Differentiate the two models of the solar system
2. Describe the Earth’s rotation on its own axis and its effects
3. Describe Earth’s revolution and its effects
4. Identify the moon’s phases
5. Explain why the moon changes phase

II. Models of the Solar System. What is the biggest difference between the two models of the solar system?

Geocentric Heliocentric

The Geocentric theory is the model of the solar
system in which ancient Greek and Roman
people such as Aristotle and Ptolemy believed
the Earth is the center of the universe and the
moon, sun, planets, and stars circle around
Earth on their own paths every day.
The Heliocentric theory is also the model of our
solar system but, it is different from the
Geocentric theory because the Heliocentric
theory elucidates that the Sun is like the center
life in the universe and all the planets revolve
around it.
