Who is Johannes Kepler?
The definition of an exoplanet
What is "A planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system" ?
Gravity gets stronger as this gets larger
What is mass?
Kepler's 1st Law
What is: "All planets have an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of two focus points" ?
A method used by the Kepler Space Telescope that has found the most exoplanet
What is The Transit Method (Searching for Shadows)?
The amount Earth's gravity will get weaker by if you increase your distance to 3 Earth radii away (hint: inverse square law graph)
What is 1/9th weaker?
Kepler's 2nd Law
An imaginary line extending from the star to a planet as it orbits sweeps out equal area in equal amounts of time.
Exoplanets that are farther away from their star will orbit ______ than planets that are closer to their star.
What is "slower" ?
The equation used to calculate the force of gravity
What is this equation:
Kepler's 3rd Law
This equation:

What is "3"?
Susie has a mass of 63 kg. This her weight on Earth in units of N.
What is 630 N?
The equation to find the orbital radius 'R'
What is this equation:
The ORBITAL RADIUS of Kepler-6b.
What is .04 AU? (calculate by finding the orbital time 'T' in years and then plugging into Kepler's 3rd Law to solve for 'R')
