Keplers Laws

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion are three laws describing the motion of planets around the sun.

Kepler First law – The Law of Orbits

All the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits having the sun at one of the foci.

Kepler’s Second Law – The Law of Equal Areas

It states that the radius vector drawn from the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time.

Kepler’s Third Law – The Law of Periods

It states that the square of the time period of revolution of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis.
