Johannes Kepler
Planetary motion of our understanding would not be possible without the help of who?
An elipse is divided by two points called a foci and the sum of the distances to the foci from any point is always a constant.
What is the first property of an elipse?
Each planets orbit around the sun is an elipse
The sun's center is always located at the focus of an elipse.
What is the first law of planetary motion?
famous astronomer Tycho Brahe
Who did Johanns Kepler work as an assistant for?
The flatter the elipse, the more ecentric.
What is the second property of an elipse?
According to this law, the planet’s orbital radius and angular velocity will vary, but the angular momentum will be conserved. The planet’s speed increases as it approaches the Sun and decreases as it recedes.
What is Kepler's second law?
The longest axis is called the major axis, while the shortest is called the minor axis.
What is the third property of an elipse?
According to this law, the orbital period increases rapidly with the orbit’s radius.
What is Kepler's third law?
