The Ptolemaic Planetary Model Robert Hatch This simplified drawing illustrates the geocentric model of claudius ptolemy (fl. 140 a.d.). no attempt has been made to represent the relative size of epicycles and deferents, nor are radial dimensions drawn to scale. For ptolemy, the basic idea was the epicyle. here are two diagrams, from ptolemy's planetary models, by robert a hatch, university of florida.
Ptolemaic Planetary System Model Astronomy Models This simulator models the movement of planets around the sun in a simplified ptolemaic model of the solar system, in which the earth is motionless near the center. We show that ptolemy’s choice of shifts allowed him to approximate the true eccentricity of planetary orbits only in the first order, linear in eccentricity. we show that, if the shifts were tuned in the ratio 5 3, the model’s precision could be improved substantially, perhaps delaying its rejection. This diagram represents a simplified version of the ptolemaic planetary model. it makes no attempt to illustrate relative sizes, distances, or centers of motion. These notes illustrate only the rudiments of ptolemaic planetary models. in particular, we have shown only in broad outline how planetary motions in longitude could be described.
