Difference between Geocentric and heliocentric are

Geocentric tells that Earth is at the center position of the solar system whereas heliocentric proposes that the sun is at the center position of the solar system.

Geocentric states that the sun rotates around the earth and heliocentric states that earth rotates around the sun.

Thus the geocentric theory states that everything (moon, star, sun) revolves around the earth whereas heliocentric theory states that everything (moon, stars. earth) revolve around the sun.
