The two theories, Heliocentric and Geocentric, were believed by many philosophers back then in the 16Th hundreds. The two most popular philosophers were Pythagorean who supported the Geocentric theory and Copernicus who supported the Heliocentric idea. The geocentric idea is the concept that believes that the earth is in the middle of the universe and that all other planets and stars are moving around it. If one person is to stand and look at the sky, it looks like earth is moving and everything is just staying in place until 24 hours pass by.
The heliocentric theory is the theory that believed that the sun is the middle of the solar system.
heliocentric was opposed to the geocentric theory. It was not until the 16Th hundreds that a philosopher, Copernicus,presented a fully predictive mathematical model of a heliocentric system.
