The first one shows all planets orbiting the sun like normal. The second shows the sun orbiting the earth, and the rest of the planets orbiting the moving sun resulting in wonky patterns. Hope I helped :)

So it's orbiting the sun while it's orbiting the earth?
False. The first is how we're taught - sun is stationary. The second is the same thing, but from the viewpoint that Earth is stationary. In real life, they're both actually moving. Both versions shown here are correct.
I understand that but the reason the sun is viewed as "stationary" is because it's mass is so much larger than the others that they orbit it and not an infinite swirl. I was saying that, without changing the earth's density or mass, the geocentric model would cause a "infinite swirl" like sero said that would probably cause planets to be sent to outer space or impact each other.
Geocentric: Fuck this let's just stay in the general area
One is true while the other isn't?
