Which type of solar system model is shown in the diagram?
a geocentric model
a heliocentric model
a Jovian model
a retrograde model
To determine which type of solar system model is depicted, consider the arrangement of the celestial bodies:
– Geocentric model: This places the Earth at the center, with all other planets and the sun revolving around it.
– Heliocentric model: This places the Sun at the center, with all planets, including Earth, orbiting around it.
– Jovian model: This primarily focuses on the characteristics of the gas giants, without being a full solar system model.
– Retrograde model: This refers to a specific motion of a planet moving backward relative to the stars from our viewpoint, not a structural model.
If the diagram shows the Sun at the center with planets orbiting around it, the correct answer is the heliocentric model.
If the diagram shows the Earth at the center with the Sun and other planets orbiting it, the answer is the geocentric model.
Make sure to analyze the diagram carefully to identify which structure is represented!
