The answer is: The earth does not move, and the planets, the moon and the sun revolve around it.

Explanation:

Geocentric system. Claudio Ptolemy proposed a model of the Universe with the Earth in the center. In the model, the Earth remains stationary while the planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it.

According to Aristotle, the earth is still in the center of the Universe and around it the rest of the planets, the moon and the sun revolve.

The answer is: The earth does not move, and the planets, the moon and the sun revolve around it.

I'm assuming you mean models of the solar system:

Both Aristotle and Ptolemy had the idea that the solar system was geocentric. This means that all objects in the solar system including the Sun revolve around the Earth.
