Question

match the following. match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. aphelion 2. ellipse 3. geocentric 4. heliocentric 5. perihelion geometric shape resembling a flattened circle that has two focal points farthest point from the sun in a planets orbit model of the solar system that suggested the sun was the center of the universe and planets orbit it in circular paths closest point to the sun in a planets orbit model of the solar system that suggested earth was the center of the universe and everything orbited around it

Explanation:

1. Aphelion is defined as the farthest point from the Sun in a planet's orbit.
2. An ellipse is a geometric shape that looks like a flattened circle with two focal points.
3. Geocentric model is the one where Earth is considered the center of the universe, and everything orbits around it.
4. Heliocentric model proposes that the Sun is the center of the solar system, and planets orbit it (originally thought to be in circular paths in early models).
5. Perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit.

Answer:

1. aphelion - farthest point from the Sun in a planet's orbit
2. ellipse - geometric shape resembling a flattened circle that has two focal points
3. geocentric - model of the solar system that suggested Earth was the center of the universe and everything orbited around it
4. heliocentric - model of the solar system that suggested the Sun was the center of the universe and planets orbit it in circular paths
5. perihelion - closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit
