Question

Explain Kepler's laws of planetary motion in detail ​

Answer 1

$\huge\text{keplers law}$

There are actually three, Kepler's laws that is, of planetary motion:

•every planet's orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at a focus;

• a line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times; and

• the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its ...

$\huge \text{three laws}$

Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be described as follows:

The path of the planets about the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun being located at one focus. (The Law of Ellipses)

An imaginary line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of the planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (The Law of Equal Areas)

The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. (The Law of Harmonies)

In the early 1600s, Johannes Kepler proposed three laws of planetary motion. Kepler was able to summarize the carefully collected data of his mentor - Tycho Brahe - with three statements that described the motion of planets in a sun-centered solar system. Kepler's efforts to explain the underlying reasons for such motions are no longer accepted; nonetheless, the actual laws themselves are still considered an accurate description of the motion of any planet and any satellite.
