How was the discovery of the shape of the orbits of the planets made?
Marywelcometomyworld...
Careful and meticulous astronomical measurements by the astronomer Tycho Brahe followed by numerical analysis of that data by Johannes Kepler after Tycho's death.

What was hypatia math discovery?
Any discoveries made by Hypatia did not survive.
When an arc is combined with two radii what is the shape that is made?
The shape made inside a circle by an arc and two radii is a sector.
What did Johannes Kepler do?
He simply discovered many things that makes technology where we are! -m In astronomy he used measurements made by Tycho Brahe to do many complicated calculations to discover the shape of the planets' orbits. The results were published as the three laws of planetary motion in 1618. They were found to give good results when used to predict the future positions of the planets. For this work Kepler is recognised as one of the founders of modern astronomy. ________________________________ Kepler worked with Tycho Brahe for several years. Brahe had no great skill in science or mathematics, but was a METICULOUS and precise observer. Based largely on Brahe's observations, Kepler was able to determine that the planet Mars - and by extension, all the other planets - traveled in elliptical paths under the influence of a force that was inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the Sun and the planet. This paved the way for Newton's development of calculus and the math that describes gravity.
Can silver be bent into another shape?
Silver has no intrinsic shape. So it can be made into near enough any shape!
How was the discovery of the planets orbits shape made?
It was made when the big bang happen i think?
How was the discovery of this orbits shape made?
by a surprise
How was the discovery of the orbits made?
by a surprise
The observation that planets move in elliptical orbits was first made by?

What instrument made possible the discovery of the planets?
the telescope
What is made of rock that orbits the sun?
planets of course, or asteroids. both are rock
What tool made possible the discovery of additional planets?
The Telescope
What affect does gravity have on the planets?
The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
What was Kepter's theory of the solar system?
Tycho Brahe made very accurate observations of the solar system. Brahe's assistant, Johannes Kepler, used the observations to figure out the shape of the planets orbits. When he used circular orbits, his calculations did not fit the observations. But after years of detailed calculations, he found that the orbit of each planet is called an ellipse. An ellipse is an oval shape.
What do all the outer planets have in common?
They all have cores, made from gas and dust, have atmosphere's, orbit sun, elliptical orbits.
Who made many observations and calculations to work out that planets' orbits are ellipses?
Galileo and also my hamsters! my best friend is Katie Jennings!
What is an object that the planet orbits?
It can be natural satellites (moons), man-made satellites or small pieces of matter such as ice (rings of the outer planets).
