earth-centered
Ptolemaic cosmic model
Earth-centered describes a perspective or model that places Earth at the center.
In astronomy, it refers to the geocentric view that the sun and planets revolve around Earth—the dominant cosmology before Copernicus.
More broadly, it describes attitudes focused on earthly or human concerns rather than cosmic or spiritual ones: an earth-centered philosophy that emphasizes environmental stewardship.
