  1. kepler's law

    Kepler's laws refer to three distinct laws of planetary motion developed by Johannes Kepler, a prominent 17th-century mathematician and astronomer. These laws are: 1. The Law of Orbits: Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun, with the sun at one of the two foci of the ellipse. 2. The Law of Areas: A line drawn from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal periods of time, meaning that a planet moves faster when it's closer to the sun and slower when it's further away. 3. The Law of Periods: The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. These laws describe the motion of celestial bodies and serve as the foundation for heliocentric cosmology and modern astronomy.
