The Heliocentric model places which body at the center?

• A. Sun in the center
• B. Earth in the center
• C. Moon in the center
• D. Planets revolve around Pluto

Answer: (A)

In the heliocentric view, the Sun sits at the center and the planets orbit around it because the Sun’s gravity keeps their paths in motion. This explains why the Sun is the central body rather than Earth, the Moon, or Pluto. The Moon is a satellite of Earth, and Pluto is not the focal point of the planetary orbits. So naming the Sun as the body at the center best describes how the solar system operates.
