Honestly, I chalk up the models of the solar system up to the writers and artist not thinking about it too hard and not really knowing how anything else would look. It’s also very possible that at one point it did work exactly like our universe (or at least similar enough) but something happened to throw it out of wack. That would explain their solar system model.

And, to quote myself in another comments thread…
 
@Cirrus Light  
When I first saw that, I saw the equation with the reduced Planck’s constant and I got mad at her for using that and dividing it by 2 pi, when I suddenly realized that it’s 2M, not 2pi.
…And I think I’ve got the relationship in-between the Planck constant and reduced Planck’s constant backwards :p
@IceKitsune
I hope not - it looks like a flat world model, but we clearly see murals depicting a regular solar system in Celestia’s throne room:
Or from Celestial Advice:
The proof that Equestria is heliocentric is literally in the intro to every single episode.
I definitely prefer that headcanon. The thought that their universe is smaller than that or otherwise weird is just… it freaks me out. It’s clausterphobic to imagine a world like that. Though I guess that depends on a lot of things.
But then again, the illustration she has works pretty well even on a round world, if you’re just looking at one patch of ground that’s approximately flat. Just as long as she’s not talking about their entire world…

  1. Equestria’s sun is probably nowhere near as large as ours. For one thing, it’s not nearly as far away; in “Sonic Rainboom”, Rarity was literally able to fly close enough to it to burn away the magical wings Twilight had given her.
     
  2. If Equestria’s geocentrism is anything like what people believed Earth’s to be back in the day, then Equestria’s Sun, the Moon, and the other heavenly bodies in the Equestrian sky are not made of the same “stuff” as earthly matter, and are not subject to the same physical laws. Newtonian gravitation simply doesn’t apply here.

But it doesn’t at least not in the way our planet orbits the sun. The sun and the moon in their universe uses a force, that they call magic, supplied by, (to the best of our limited knowledge) Celestia and Luna to orbit around the planet.

No, it just would be completely different from ours. Just because it doesn’t follow our laws of physics and there is a thing called magic in it doesn’t mean that they can’t explain things scientifically. Their science, and therefore their Astrophysics, would take into account the existence of that difference. Magic to them would just be another form of science. Therefore Celestia and Luna controlling the Sun and Moon is not any kind of issue to them when trying to make testable explanations and predictions about their world.

Because you have a world where literal Celestial object are controlled by the whims of two ponies, Astrophysics is getting kicked in the dick by them in this universe.

Why would Geocentricism negate Astrophysics exactly? Astrophysics is the study of what makes up Celestial objects, their composition and I don’t think how they move in relation to the planet has anything to do with that.

First off why do the Sun and Moon rise from the South and set in the North and secondly WHY ARE YOU DISCUSSING ASTROPHYSICS ON A WORLD THAT IS LITERALLY GEOCENTRIC?!?

Posting this comment again here as this is likely to get more views.  
Interesting, I wonder who she is explaining how the Sun and Moon work too? That looks like what she is doing anyway. Logically it would have to be either someone who is not from their world or a young child.
 
Also glad we have an HD screenshot of that whiteboard
