In the Copernican model, the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, marking a significant shift from earlier models that placed Earth at the center. Tycho Brahe's model was a compromise, placing Earth at the center with the Sun orbiting Earth, and the other planets orbiting the Sun, but it still recognized the Earth-Sun relationship in a way that aligns more closely with the heliocentric concept. Ptolemy's model, on the other hand, was geocentric, placing Earth at the center of the universe.
