Answer:

Kepler's laws of planetary

motion :

  • law of orbit - Every planet moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun, with the sun being at one of the focii

  • law of areas - The radius vector drawn from the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time i.e., the areal velocity of a planet is constant

  • law of periods or Harmonic law - The square of the period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis r of the ellipse .

T² ∝ r³

Hope it's help you :))
