Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

The Ptolemaic model was geocentric and based on uniform circular motion. Ptolemy created a mathematical model of the Aristotelian universe in which the planet followed a small circle called an epicycle that slid around a larger circle, called a deferent. By adjusting the size and rate of rotation of the circles, he could approximate the retrograde motion of a planet. To adjust the speed of the planet, he supposed that Earth was slightly off-center, and that the center of the epicycle moved such that it appeared to move at a constant rate as seen from a point called the equant.
