Heliocentric model means the sun is the center of the solar system - not the Earth as first thought.

Copurnicus is given credit for the correct thinking to devise the heliocentric model.

Are you in the right church, brother? This looks like an astronomy question. Anyway, helios is Greek for sun. So this means a "sun-centered" model. In this model, the planets circle around the sun. The first important model was by Copernicus, the planets were postulated to orbit in a circle. Then it was modified to elliptical orbits.
