What is Keplers 1st law
all planets travel around the sun in an elliptical orbit
or e=d/L
What kind of graphing relationship is it, if:
As one goes up, the next goes down?
indirect

White dwarf
Name the star that falls in A spectral class and luminosity of 10^5.
Deneb
What is Keplers 3rd Law
As a planets distance from the sun increases, the period of revolution increases.
What is the relationship between distance from the Sun and period of revolution?
direct
A pattern of dark lines at precise wavelengths caused by an element absorbing these wavelengths that helped us figure out what elements make up the sun are known as
spectral lines
