this model actually disproves the heliocentric model. the moon wouldn´t be lit at night time, because the earth is infront of it. the moon would cast a shadow on the dayside, so the earth shouldn´t be lit, when the moon is infront of it.
Actually, this model does NOT disprove the heliocentric model, as it clearly shows the shadows missing most of the time. The model I've shown would have eclipses annually, like clockwork however the actual geometry (and size of objects) make eclipses rarer.
The animation shows how the tilt of the moon's orbit prevents monthly eclipses from occurring, which was the whole point.
this video shows, that the shadows become bigger. The moon is 500000 km far away from the earth, so, the shadow should be much bigger than the moon. if the shadows would become smaller, it would work.
