Planetary motion almost fits into the category of Uniform Circular Motion. Uniform Circular Motion is an object moving around a circle of constant radius at a constant speed. The planets fill all of these requirements except for the fact that their orbits are slightly elliptical. Their orbital paths are almost perfect circles, but they are so close that for Uniform Circular Motion problems, it is not likely that considering the orbits to be circular will produce an incorrect answer.

Who formuleted the laws of planetary motion?
The laws of planetary motion are attributed to Kepler.
How many laws of planetary motion did Johannes Kepler discover?
3 laws' of planetary motion
Types of motion?
uniform and non uniform motion uniform motion [ equal distance in equal intervals of time is known as uniform motion] non uniform motion [equal distance at unequal intervals of time is known as non uniform motion]
Who figured out the laws of planetary motion?
Keplar figured out the laws of planetary motion using Tycho Brahe's data.
What is the similarities do the movements of the planets share?
They all obey Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion.
What is the other name of non-uniform motion?
"Non-uniform" motion is "accelerated" motion.
What is the difference between uniform linear motion an uniform circular motion?
linear is which is on a straight path and circular motion is which has a curved path. *In a uniform linear motion,the velocity is constant and the acceleration is zero.So,uniform linear motion is an unaccelerated motion. *In uniform circular motion the velocity can be variable although the speed is uniform.So,it is an accelerated motion.
What type of motion is spinning top uniform or non uniform?
The spinning top has uniform motion.
What is the meaning of uniform accelarated motion?
What is the meaning of uniform accelarated motion?
Is the motion of earth a uniform circular motion?
yes the motion of earth around the sun is uniform
Is uniformly accelerated motion uniform motion?
yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion
What are the similarities between uniform and nonuniform motion?
in uniform motion velocity not changes with time but in non uniform motion velocity changes with time.
