Definition of geocentric in English:

geocentric

adjective dʒiːə(ʊ)ˈsɛntrɪkˌdʒioʊˈsɛntrɪk

1Having or representing the earth as the centre, as in former astronomical systems.
（旧天文观测系统等中）以地球为中心的。比较HELIOCENTRIC
Compare with heliocentric
Example sentencesExamples
- The heliocentric system opens up the possibility of aspect patterns that could never happen in the geocentric system - such as Venus in major aspect to the Sun.
- Can you envisage how concerned you'd become if your satellite TV company started planning its coverage using a geocentric system of astronomy based on the use of Ptolemy's epicycles?
- Aristotle's geocentric astronomy, which attaches the heavenly bodies to a series of concentric spheres, was not his own creation.
- Why did the heliocentric astronomical paradigm replace the geocentric one?
- Moreover, in geocentric astronomy there was no way of using observations to find the relative sizes of the planetary orbs; they were simply assumed to be in contact.
2Astronomy
Measured from or considered in relation to the centre of the earth.
〔天文〕从地心出发测量的；从地心出发考虑的
Example sentencesExamples
- The varying relationship between geocentric and heliocentric longitudes makes it difficult to calculate the exact chance of such a thing happening in any chart, but it is certainly over 95%.
- Moreover, angular separation rates are constant along a given small circle, and are proportional to the sine of the radius of the circle (measured as a geocentric angle from circle to pole).
- As Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than to the earth, and move around the Sun much faster than the earth does, they have the widest variations between the geocentric and heliocentric positions.
- A few taps on the pocket calculator show that the Moon's speed in its geocentric orbit is around 2,300 miles per hour, although variable between perigee and apogee.
- The downside was that a geocentric orbit placed the spacecraft in a more severe space environment.

Derivatives

geocentrically

adverb

The midwest has long been the preferred capital of many trade show locations as it is geocentrically convenient to travel from either coast and southern portions.
Example sentencesExamples
- This places him in the curious position of simultaneously denying the reality of the Foucault pendulum experiment and claiming that it could best be described geocentrically.
- Calculation of rising, transiting, and setting of various celestial objects is calculated geocentrically.
- As a result, any aspect made to the Sun geocentrically (in a normal natal chart) will automatically form a heliocentric aspect to the Earth - these aspects are extremely important.
- Astrology observes the planets geocentrically, as if from the Earth's centre, and not topocentrically, from the actual place of the observer.

geocentrism

noun

Born in Poland in 1473, it was the humble astronomer Nicholas Copernicus who challenged the geocentrism of Ptolemy with his own heliocentric universe.
Example sentencesExamples
- He tries, here, to talk the man out of his odd fixation on geocentrism and a non-rotational earth.
- Is it ‘denying free thought’ if the government doesn't teach geocentrism along with heliocentrism?
- The instructions from Rome were quite explicit, since they asked him to discuss heliocentrism only hypothetically and not present it as a better explanation than geocentrism.
- He challenged geocentrism, refuted the dogma of the perfection of the heavens, and suggested that there might be a vast number of other worlds as well as universes.

Rhymes
