@ Al, let me show you one of the biggest (if not The biggest) flaw in heliocentric theory:
Heliocentric "explanation" why there is annual motion of all the stars:
HC: Because of the Earth's annual translation (revolution around the Sun)! :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:
Maybe they could have gotten away somehow with such a nonsense had they not overlooked one terrible mistake (which is crucial part of their theory, hence why they can't get rid of it): Fixed spatial orientation of the Earth's axis!
I remind us all to quest. No 4:
IT is found by observation that the stars come to the meridian about four minutes earlier every twenty-four hours than the sun, taking the solar time as the standard. This makes 120 minutes every thirty days, and twenty-four hours in the year. Hence all the constellations have passed before or in advance of the sun in that time. This is the simple fact as observed in nature, but the theory of rotundity and motion on axes and in an orbit has no place for it. Visible truth must be ignored, because this theory stands in the way, and prevents its votaries from understanding it. What is plain and consistent with every known fact, and with the direct evidence of our senses, must be interpreted or translated into theoretical language--must be called "an illusion of our senses," and affirmed to be an apparent result only; the real cause being the earth's progressive motion round the sun in what is called the ecliptic, the plane of which is assumed to be inclined to the equator 23° 28´. Samuel Rowbotham "Zetetic Astronomy"
Alleged sidereal time (one rotation on Earth's axis) = 23h 56min
The same amount of time Stellatum (all fixed stars) needs for to make one revolution around the Earth each day, that is why one alleged rotation on Earth's axis has to be accomplished after 23h 56min!
The only other (instead of the true geocentric reason) reasonable (theoretically) explanation for the annual motion of all the stars would be appropriate-necessary speed of the Earth's rotation (not it's annual revolution-translation).
It means that heliocentrists could have avoided (and even then the success of their escape from falling into ultimate disgrace before eyes of the world would have been just to the certain extent) their biggest flaw only if they had used the very same reason (Earth's rotation) for the explanation of "apparent" annual motion of the Stellatum as they use it (Earth's rotation) for diurnal (daily) motion of all the stars around the Earth.
It was and is and will be really a fatal flaw in heliocentric theory!

Question No 4: Why do the stars appear to be fixed along a celestial sphere?
GC: Because they are.
HC: The stars only appear to be fixed along a celestial sphere because they are so incredibly far away. Even after hundreds of millions of miles of our (supposed) orbit around the Sun, the stars appear in the exact same positions at the exact same meridian times because they are many "light-years" away. A light-year is approximately 6 TRILLION miles away and that is why they falsely seem fixed from our faulty perspective.
