Ptolemy, an astronomer who lived during the second century ce, created a deeply complex model to describe the motion of the planets, a category he thought included the moon and the sun. he believed that all these celestial objects rotated around earth, which he took to be the center of the universe. this is called a "geocentric model." in the 1400s, copernicus became dissatisfied with the complexity and apparent arbitrariness of ptolemy's model as an explanation of planetary motion. he began to ask what the planetary motions would look like from another vantage point in space, such as the sun. pursuing this hypothesis led copernicus to a system that describes planetary motion as centered around the sun. this is the "heliocentric model," a hypothesis whose implications have been repeatedly tested.
