A good quiz question is one that gives you clues through which you can figure out the answer, even if you don't know the answer immediately. A trivia question is certainly NOT a good quiz question.

Ptolemy's geocentric model?
Geo-centric theory with Earth being the center of the universe.
The picture depicts the christian view of the universe. The planets and the sun revolve around the earth, and then there is a sphere of stars, beyond which lie heaven and hell.
Copernicus' map of the solar system with the earth at the center
roman calendar?
Looks like the distances of orbits of Sun, moon and the planets in a geo-centric universe. The pictures of Jesus etc. hint at this being the representation of the universe according to the Christian church.
The old idea of the universe with earth as the center!?
It illustrates the geocentric theory with mercury, venus, sun, mars, jupiter, saturn and uranus revolving around earth?
The other planets weren't discovered when this was made i guess!
Distance from Earth in terms of days
The picture is of the Ptolemaic geocentric system, in which the Earth is the center of the universe and other objects go around it. This was the standard model of the universe in the early modern age. From the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced by the heliocentric model of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler.
Congratulations to all who got it right!
