You understand dick. How does the Earth orbit the sun (like you've already admitted) in a geocentric model? You know what reductio ad absurdum means? It means when you admit the Earth orbits the sun, you have, by the very definition, refuted geocentricity.
Use to think the earth is orbiting around the sun, but then i put it all together
1) light does not travel for infinity - all light obeys the inverse square law
2) human have a limit to perspective on the plain we live on due to the sky plain and the terrestrial plane meeting at a point we also know as the vanishing point
3) the sun does not set - its actually blocked most of the time but it actually gets smaller and smaller due to its emanating radial circumference reaching the limit of our perspective.
you need to understand much
https://youtu.be/B8Uj0FgDP38 - is a nice basic understanding
you also need to understand what atmosphic blocking/ refraction/ persective is - and why ships dont actually go over the horizon

but the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
sees the world spinning round
