It is conceptually a geocentric model, or more precisely geoheliocentric: the Earth is at the centre of the universe, the Sun and Moon and the stars revolve around the Earth, and the other five planets revolve around the Sun.

Feb 24, 2023 · The Tychonic model is a theoretical model of universe that hypothesizes that earth is center of universe. The sun, moon, & stars revolve around the earth. And all other planets within our solar system revolve around the sun. That’s why this model is also referred to as the geo-heliocentric model of the universe.
Oct 18, 2023 · Copernicus formulated his (not entirely new) theory that the Earth and other planets revolved around the Sun in a heliocentric system and not in a Ptolemaic geocentric system. Copernicus also suggested that the Earth turned on its own axis and orbited the Sun once each year.

Tycho Brahe, arguably the most accomplished astronomer of his time, advocated against Copernicus' heliocentric system and for an alternative to the Ptolemaic geocentric system: a geo-heliocentric system now known as the Tychonic system in which the Sun and Moon orbit the Earth, Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun inside the Sun's orbit of the Earth ...
Summary: The paper discusses Tycho Brahe’s geo-heliocentric system, arguing that it represents a good instance of a failed synthesis. First, the Author analyzes the physical and metaphysical principles grounding this system, relying on Brahe’s correspondence with Christoph Rothmann.
The Tychonic system (or Tychonian system) was a model of the solar system published by Tycho Brahe in the late 16th century which combined what he saw as the mathematical benefits of the Copernican system with the philosophical and "physical" benefits of the Ptolemaic system. The model may have been inspired by Valentin Naboth [1] and Paul ...
