What are some of the applications of Kepler's laws?

First law - you can study the trajectory / locus of planets as first law states it is an ellipse with sun as foci. You can apply ellipse equations to study the trajectory further. read more

First law - you can study the trajectory / locus of planets as first law states it is an ellipse with sun as foci. You can apply ellipse equations to study the trajectory further. Second law - angular speeds at different points on the trajectory and the magnitude of acceleration. Third law - orbital periods. read more

to plot and time the positions of comets and asteroids as they orbit the The application to Kepler's law are: 1. Sunplotting a course out of the solar system to explore other planets similar to Earth 2. plot the orbit of moons or man-made space satellites An example of this is Kepler’s harmonic law is the third law of the Planetary Motion. read more

Kepler's First Law (1) Planets move around the Sun in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus First explain what an ellipse is: one of the "conic sections, " shapes obtaining by slicing a cone with a flat surface. read more
