Johannes kepler, A mathematician and astronomer ,used the observations to formulate the following three basic laws of planetary motion
1.Law of Ellipses
2.Law of equal Areas
3.Law of Harmonies
Law of Ellipses:
The Path of all the planets in our solar system about the sun are elliptical in shape with center of sun being located at the focus.
Law of equal Areas:
The imaginary line from center of the sun to the center of the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal interval of time.
Law of Harmonies :
The ratio of the square of the orbital period of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cube of their average distance from the sun
