Who is responsible for developing the three laws of planetary motion?

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Johannes Kepler.


Who is Heinrich Kepler?

Heinrich Kepler was the father of famous German astronomer Johannes Kepler


21 How did Kepler deviate from the beliefs of Aristotle and Copernicus in his first law?

Johannes Kepler came up with his first law in 1618 which says that every planet moves in an ellipse with the Sun at one focus (an ellipse has two of these). It differs from earlier theories, which were not bad, just complicated, that the planets move in a system of circles. There would be a circle for the main orbit, then another small circle to allow for the fact that each planet is sometimes closer to the Sun or further away than normal, then another small circle to allow for the inclination of the orbit to the ecliptic, and so on. Circles were added to make the planets' observed positions agree with the predictions. Each planet moves round each of its small circles once in the time it takes to go right round its main circle. Copernicus's system with the Sun at the centre had a total of 48 circles for the planets out to Saturn.


How much water does Kepler the planet have?

There is no single planet named Kepler; rather Kepler is a prefix added to the designations of planets discovered by the Kepler telescope. Several planets discovered by Kepler, including Kepler-438b, Kepler-442b, Kepler 440b, and Kepler 296f, orbit in the habitable zones of their stars, which means they might have liquid water on their surfaces. Currently we do not have the technology to determine if they actually have liquid water.


Is Kepler a planet?

No. Kepler is a telescope created to find planets orbiting other stars. Planets found using it are given designations beginning with Kepler, such as Kepler 440b.
