What's the difference between geocentric and heliocentric?

Geocentric


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Geocentrical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The use of a rational (geocentric) method of orientation in flight is determined by the specific content of the conceptual model that develops in the course of flying experience and by the display of the spatial position of perceptive signs of the geocentric system of coordinates.
  • (2) This concept asserts that as pilot's professional expertise increases, the pattern of spatial orientation becomes geocentric because a new system of spatial perception evolves which is a result of the development of a new (instrumental) type of motor activity in space.
  • (3) The importance of these factors is confirmed by erroneous decisions made by operators with no flying experience (40%) when they estimated the spatial position as well as by a shorter time and a lower number of errors made in assessing the spatial position when the display presented signs of the geocentric system of coordinates.
  • (4) The egocentric signal is combined with signals for head and body movement and for egocentric distance to give a geocentric representation.
  • (5) Theories based on single processes operating at one of the retinocentric, orbitocentric, egocentric, or geocentric levels are not able to account for all aspects of the phenomenon.
  • (6) It is argued that although motion perception is always geocentric, relevant registrations also occur at the three earlier levels.
  • (7) The four levels are referred to as retinocentric, orbitocentric, egocentric, and geocentric.

Heliocentric


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Heliocentrical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In between winning three Oscars , having four children, keeping bees and studying music, Murch recently investigated new links between the architecture of the Pantheon, the work of Copernicus and the origins of heliocentrism in western astronomy.
  • (2) File next to : Pigbag, Rip Rig and Panic, Zun Zun Egui, the Heliocentrics.
  • (3) In fact, they are a supergroup of sorts, featuring as they do Pete Wareham ( Acoustic Ladyland , Polar Bear ), Shabaka Hutchings ( Sons of Kemet , the Heliocentrics ), Tom Skinner (Hello Skinny, Sons of Kemet, Mulatu Astatke ), Ruth Goller (Acoustic Ladyland), Kushal Gaya ( Zun Zun Egui ) and Satin Singh ( Transglobal Underground ).
