The Kepler mission is specifically designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets.
Results from the mission will allow us to place our solar system within the continuum of planetary systems in the Galaxy.

Did Kepler discover that planets orbit around sun?
No. While Kepler made major advancements in the proposal, the first person to formally propose that the planets orbit the sun was Copernicus.
What type of orbit did Kepler say planets moved around the Sun in?
Ellipse
Who proposed that planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths moving fastest when closest to the Sun?
Johannes Kepler.
Who discovered that planets have elliptical orbits?
Johannes Kepler proposed that these planets orbit the sun in ellipses, not circles. That is why we have Kepler's Law of Planetary Motion.
How does the speed of a planet depends on its distance from the sun?
This was worked out by Kepler about 400 years ago. Kepler's second law of planetary motion shows how a planet moves faster when it's nearer, in its elliptical orbit, to the Sun. Kepler's third law relates the time a particular planet takes to orbit the Sun to its average distance from the Sun. A planet which is farther from the Sun has a slower orbital speed than a planet closer to the Sun.

No. While Kepler made major advancements in the proposal, the first person to formally propose that the planets orbit the sun was Copernicus.
Does the sun move with the earth and moon?
No, the moon orbits the Earth and the Earth Orbits the Sun. The Earth does not orbit in circular patterns. This is proved by Johannes Kepler. Kepler states that the planets orbit in elliptical.
How did newton's work on orbit add to the work Kepler had done?
Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.

Which scientist determined that the farther a planet is from the sun the longer it takes to orbit?
Johannes Kepler.
Who calculated that more distant planets orbit the sun more slowly?
Johannes Kepler

What orbit do meteors have?
Meteors are in orbit round the Sun and they follow Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion, which apply to anything that orbits the Sun, of any size and mass.
One of Kepler's laws staes that the shape of a planet's orbit around the sun is what?
An ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse.
What did Kepler's observation support?
Kepler's observations supported the fact that the plants orbit in an ellipse. He wrote the Laws of Planetary Motion stating all planets orbit the sun and all planets orbits are elliptical.
