1. base your answer to the following question on your knowledge of earth - science. the diagram represents the elliptical orbit for one planet in our solar system. the two foci of the orbit are shown as the sun and f2.

(not drawn to scale)
the arrangement and movement of celestial objects in our solar system is best described by the
a) spiral model
b) cosmic model
c) geocentric model
d) heliocentric model

Explanation:

The heliocentric model places the Sun at the center of the solar - system with planets orbiting around it. This is consistent with the modern understanding of the arrangement and movement of celestial objects in our solar system. The geocentric model places Earth at the center, the spiral model is not relevant to the basic arrangement of the solar - system, and the cosmic model is a very general term and not specific to the solar - system's structure.

Answer:

D. heliocentric model
