Summary
Diagram of the geocentric epicyclic planetary model used in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Almagest" class="extiw" title="w:en:Almagest">w:en:Almagest</a> to describe the longitudinal motion of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The Earth is represented by ⊕, and the planet is represented by ☉. The direction A is fixed, and the lines labeled e, R, and r are fixed in length. The angles θ and φ increase at a constant rate with time. The direction M points towards the mean position of the planet.
