That's a better idea than moderns give it credit for. If Earth orbits around the sun, you'd expect we'd see the stars move, as Earth moves relative to them. Yo

That's a better idea than moderns give it credit for. If Earth orbits around the sun, you'd expect we'd see the stars move, as Earth moves relative to them. You have to assume the stars are absurdly far away to make that model fit with observations. Of course, now we know that stars are that far away, but I can't fault the Geocentrics of old for picking the more reasonable model.
