Planets and minor planets circle the sun in an elliptical trajectory. According to Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, a planet's trajectory is an ellipse with the sun at one of the two centers. Contrary to popular perception and knowledge, the orbits of the planets are not spherical. The orbital time of a planet is proportionate to the magnitude of its circle (its semi-major axis). Kepler's First Law states that the path of each planet around the Sun is an elliptical. The Sun's center is always situated at one point of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is centered. The planet's trajectory is elliptical, which means that the planet's distance from the Sun changes as the planet rotates.
kepler third law :T2 is proportional to a3.
The third law differs from the other two in that it is a mathematical formula, T2 is proportionate to a3, that links the planets' distances from the Sun to their orbital times (the time it takes to make one orbit around the Sun). T is the planet's rotational phase. The semimajor axis of the planet's trajectory is represented by the variable a. The main axis of a planet's orbit is the distance across the irregular orbit's long axis. Half of that is the semimajor axis. In our solar system, an is typically stated in astronomical units (equal to the semimajor axis of Earth's orbit), and T is usually expressed in years. That is for Planet. a3/T2 is equal to 1. For Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, its orbital distance…
