What is the similarities do the movements of the planets share?
They all obey Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion.
Who propounded the planetary laws?
Johannes Kepler is credited with forming the mathematics of elliptical orbits.
According to the three laws of planetary motion planetary orbits are in the shape of an?
They are in the shape of an ellipse.
Who wrote the theory for the gravitational laws of planetary motion?
There are numerous theories of planetary motion. Ptolemaeus (earth in the centre), Copernicus (the sun in the centre, planets orbit around it), Kepler (planet orbits are ellipses) all wrote such theories.
How does gravity affect the other planets in the solar system?
"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.
How does planetary motion affect the world around you?
because without it we would not have the same gravity or we wouldn't stay on our axis
One of the major forces that influence planetary motion?
Gravity.
What are forces governing planetary motion?
Only one force - gravity.
What is the relation between newton law and palantry motion?
Newton's Law of Gravity describes Planetary motion.
What kinds of motion does gravity affect?
weight
Which type of force affect motion?
Gravity
How does gravity effect motion?
Gravity is completely responsible for planetary motion. The shape and size of each orbit, and the speed of the planet at every point in its orbit, taken along with the mass of the sun, are completely determined by the behavior of gravity.
How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
Who was the scientist who showed that gravity accounts for keplers laws of planetary motion?
Isaac Newton
How does gravity affect the 2 components of projectile motion?
-- Gravity causes the vertical component of projectile motion to vary according to the local acceleration of gravity. -- Gravity has no effect at all on the horizontal component of projectile motion.
How did Newton alter KeplerΚΌs three laws?
He didn't alter them. He showed that his theory of planetary motion under gravity was consistent with them.
Who formuleted the laws of planetary motion?
The laws of planetary motion are attributed to Kepler.
