the continue to move at the same speed as when further away

When planets are closer to the Sun, their orbital velocity increases. This is due to the gravitational force of the Sun pulling them in and causing them to move faster in their orbits. The spin on their axis remains the same regardless of their distance from the Sun.

Aristotle's and Ptolemy's models of planetary motion were geocentric, meaning the sun was the center of the solar system.(1 point)
