A.
Tychonic system
The Tychonic system is a historical hybrid model of the cosmos in which Earth is stationary at the center while the Sun orbits Earth and the other planets orbit the Sun, proposed as a compromise between geocentric and heliocentric theories.
-
B.
Ibn al-Shatir planetary model
The Ibn al-Shatir planetary model is a 14th-century geocentric astronomical system that replaced Ptolemy’s equant with epicycles to more accurately predict planetary motions and anticipated key mathematical features of later heliocentric models.
-
C.
Ptolemaic system
The Ptolemaic system is an ancient geocentric cosmological model that places Earth at the center of the universe with the Sun, Moon, and planets moving around it in complex circular paths.
-
D.
Alfonsine Tables
The Alfonsine Tables are a set of medieval astronomical tables, compiled under the patronage of Alfonso X of Castile in the 13th century, that provided planetary positions and were widely used in Europe for centuries.

Tusi couple
The Tusi couple is a geometric device from medieval Islamic astronomy that generates linear motion from the sum of two circular motions, later influencing Copernican models of planetary motion.
- F. None of above. chosen
