Q. I. All celestial objects, stars, the sun and the planets, revolve around the earth.
II. The only motion that was thought to be possible for celestial objects was motion in a circle.
III. The star, the earth and the planets, all revolve around the sun.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct for a geocentric model?

Gravitation

Solution:

In a 'geocentric model' all celestial objects, stars, the sun and the planets, all revolve around the earth. The only possible motion for celestial objects was motion in a circle.
So, statements I and II are correct but III is incorrect.
