How did Johannes discover how gravity affected objects in space?

Johannes (Kepler) didn't work with gravity at all. He worked with the observations
recorded in his mentor's (Tycho's) notebooks during his lifetime, and figured out the
simplest arrangement of planets that could explain what we actually see them do in
the sky.
His 'model' was: Each planet moves in an elliptical path with the sun at one focus of
the ellipse, and the farther a planet is from the sun, the slower it moves.
Gravity never entered into the picture until Newton ... born 12 years after Kepler died ...
proposed a formula for how gravity works, and showed that if his formula for gravity is
correct, then the planets must move in the way that Kepler suggested.

How are objects around you affected by mass of earth?
The objects around you and me are affected by the mass of earth by gravity
Is an objects weight affected by gravity?
yes
All objects in the universe are affected by what?
gravity
What objects in space are affected by the sun's gravity?
Such an object is said to be in free fall.
What objects did Isacc Newton observe to discover gravity?
An apple
Are objects in space affected by earth's gravity?
they can be yes.
Is The amount of an objects mass affected by gravity?
No. But the weight of that mass depends on the local gravity.
Does gravity exists between all objects with the masses but strength of gravity between two objects depends on the mass of the object?
Yes. All objects that have mass are affected by gravity and the gravitational force varies with the masses of the objects.
Is there an object affected by only gravity?
Yes, there is an object affected by only gravity. Stars and other floating space debris are only affected by gravity in space, as long as the objects do not touch each other.
How is the gravity between two objects affected by their masses?
The one that is heavier
How are objects around us affected by the mass of the Earth?
Everything around us is affected by the mass of earth because mass makes a force called gravity and that's what keeps us from floating off Earth and that's how the objects are affected, they are held onto Earth by gravity!
Which identifies the objects in your solar system that are affected by the force of gravity?
They are all in orbit.
