Earth's place in the universe

Actual motion is how objects actually move. For example, Earth rotates on its axis.
Apparent motion is how objects appear to move. For example, due to Earth's rotation, the sun seems to rise and set each day.
The geocentric model was later replaced by the heliocentric model. In this model, the sun is at the center of the universe.
In reality, the sun is only at the center of our solar system, not the entire universe.
