In the above graphic, b is the length of one side of the triangle, here defined as the “base”. If you drop a perpendicular from the angle opposite side b to side b, this is called the “height of the triangle”. The area of the triangle, called A, is related to the base and height using the equation: A = (1/2) (base X height) = 0.5bh. In the case where b = 10 cm and h =6 cm, A = 0.5 X 10 X 6 = 30. Kepler’s Three Laws of Elliptical Planetary Motion are written: Planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun. The line connecting a planet with the Sun, called the Radius Vector, sweeps out equal areas in equal times. The Orbital Period of a planet around the Sun, P, is the time it takes that planet to complete one solar orbit. The square of P is equal is proportional to the planet’s semi-major axis, a.
