  1. kepler's law of planetary motion

    Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientifically proven laws that describe the motion of planets around the sun. These include: 1) The Law of Orbits: Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of the two foci. 2) The Law of Areas: A line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time, implying that a planet travels faster when it is closer to the sun. 3) The Law of Periods: The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This means that more distant planets take longer to complete their orbit around the sun. These laws developed by Johannes Kepler in the 17th century are foundational to our understanding of planetary motion and celestial mechanics.
