Question about Geocentrism

[MarkAntony]

How do these guys explain the seasons?

I assume they say the suns orbit is eliptical, or at least slightly eratic

 

[MarkAntony]

Do they concede that the Earth is rotating? Because my understanging is that they believe it fixed?

You don't think the seasons are caused by an elliptical orbit, do you?

 

[MarkAntony]

I`m getting confused by this.

So. The other planets still orbit the sun, but the Sun orbits the Earth? Or does everything orbit the Earth? If everything orbits Earth, how do they explain the movements of the other planets? And if they DO orbit the sun, why do they do that and not orbit the Earth?

Nope, hence why I said eratic, to give the same effect as the earths wobble. How they justify it is up to them, tho it's going to go against some observable facts, because it's blatantly wrong.

Historically the geocentric model everything revolves arround the earth, but to correct the disparities of observation they put epicirlces (circular orbits within the circular orbits), and with the development of the accuracy on the observation the model was correct several times to have more epicirlces within epicirlces within epicircles (the same way one would recursively aproximate to an elipitcal orbit arround the sun).
But of course the geocentric model is currently only has historical importance and it doesn't make real science, anyone that keeps pedaling are comparable flat earthist and thinfoil hats.

I went over this not long ago
