Question

State and explain the implications of each of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.

Expert Solution

Step 1

First Law:

All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun at one of the focus. It implies that the planet revolves around the Sun in a well-defined orbit which is elliptical in nature.

Step 2

Second Law:

A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time. It implies that the planet moves slowly when it is far away from the Sun and moves faster when it is near the Sun.
