Answer:
The third law expresses that the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbit, and vice versa. Isaac Newton showed in 1687 that relationships like Kepler's would apply in the Solar System to a good approximation, as a consequence of his own laws of motion and law of universal gravitation.
