Hi.

I believe the diagram that best shows Kepler's model of the solar system is the picture B, the sun is the center while the earth (and other planets) orbit in an equantless pattern

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Kepler, the arrangement of solar system is heliocentric which means that the sun is at the centre and all other planet rotate around it.

As per Kepler’s first law - All the planet rotate around the sun in elliptical paths

As per Kepler’s second law - The radius vector wrt position of planet on elliptical orbit sweeps equal area.

As per Kepler’s third law - The cubes of the planets mean distances from the Sun is directly proportional squares of the sidereal periods

As per Kepler , the solar system arrangement would look like a way more similar to as shown in the option D
