地心说 Geocentric model

(重定向自Ptolemaic theory)
托勒密的宇宙体系图
葡萄牙宇宙学家和制图师巴尔托洛梅乌·维利乌于1568年绘制的地心说宇宙模型,收藏于法国国家图书馆。
托勒密系统的主要架构:行星以偏心点为圆心绕本轮(小圆)、均轮(大圆)两个正圆转动。

地心说(或称天动说),是古人认为地球是宇宙的中心,而其他的星球都环绕着它而运行的学说。

由于古代人缺乏足够的宇宙观测数据,以及怀着以人为本的观念,因此他们误认为地球就是宇宙的中心,而其他的星体都是绕着她而运行的。古希腊的托勒密(Claudius Ptolemy)将地心说的模型发展完善,且为了解释某些行星的逆行现象(即在某些时候,从地球上看那些星体的运动轨迹,有时这些星体会往反方向行走),因此他提出了本轮的理论,即这些星体除了绕地轨道外,还会沿着一些小轨道运转。后来,天主教教会接纳此为世界观的「正统理论」。

Pages from 1550 Annotazione on Sacrobosco's Tractatus de Sphaera, showing the Ptolemaic system.

In astronomy, the geocentric model (also known as geocentrism, or the Ptolemaic system) is a superseded description of the universe, where the Earth is at the center of all the celestial bodies. This model served as the predominant cosmological system in many ancient civilizations such as ancient Greece including the noteworthy systems of Aristotle (see Aristotelian physics) and Ptolemy. As such, they believed that the Sun, Moon, stars, and naked eye planets circled Earth.
