KEPLERS THREE LAWS ARE
  • The Law of Ellipses: explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse.

  • The Law of Equal Areas:if an imaginary line were drawn from the center of the planet to the center of the sun, that line would sweep out the same area in equal periods of time.

  • The Law of Harmonies:compares the orbital period and radius of orbit of a planet to those of other planets.

1.Law of orbits-Each planet revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the sun  situated at one of the 
two foci.
2.Law of areas-The radius vector drawn from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time .i.e.the area vector of a planet around the sun remains constant.
3.Law of periods-The square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is proportional to the 
cube of the semimajor axis of its elliptical orbit.T2=R3

Hello sai
               Definition of Kepler's law. 1 : a statement in astronomy: the orbit of each planet is an ellipse that has the sun at one focus. 2 : a statement in astronomy: the radius vector from the sun to each planet generates equal orbital areas in equal times.

hi dear iitian...
    defination of keplers law..
1.a statement in astronomy,the orbit of each planet is an ellipse that has sun at one focus.
2.a statement in astronomy,the radius vactor from the sun to each planrt generates equal orbital areal times..
