Kepler discovered that the orbit of each planet is an what rather than a perfect circle?
Johannes Kepler discovered that the Earth revolves/orbits the Sun in an ELLIPSE. He also discovered that the Sun is NOT at the centre of the ellipse, but at one of the foci ; (plural of focus). The other focal point being 'blind'. From this we have the definition, that as the Earth orbits the Sun , 'It sweeps equal arcs in equal times'. As the Earth orbits, it speeds up and slows down. It is moving at its fastest when passing the Sun at it nearest point ( perigee) and slowest when at its furthest point ( apogee). Have a look in Wikipedia under' Johannes Kepler.
Does the planet Kepler really exist?
There is a bit of confusion here. Kepler is not the name of a planet but of a space telescope used to discover planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b. This telescope has been used to discovered hundreds of planets.
Does Planet Kepler exist?
Yes, planet Kepler exists. Kepler is the name of a star, Kepler-186, which has several confirmed exoplanets orbiting around it. One of these exoplanets is called Kepler-186f, located in the habitable zone of its star.
Is Kepler smaller than Jupiter?
There is no planet named Kepler. Kepler is the name of a space telescope used to find planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this method are given designations such as Kepler 22-b. Some planets discovered have been larger than Jupiter.
Who discover the Kepler planet?
The Kepler space telescope was launched by NASA in 2009 to search for exoplanets. The telescope discovered thousands of new planets during its mission, which ended in 2018. The discoveries made by the Kepler mission were a collaborative effort involving many scientists and researchers.
What was Kepler's first law of planetary motion called?
It has no other name but it says a planet follows an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse, and nothing at the other focus.
What do m1 and m2 represent in keplers law?
In Kepler's laws of planetary motion, m1 and m2 represent the masses of two objects (usually the Sun and a planet) that are orbiting around each other. Kepler's laws describe the relationship between the orbit of a planet and the mass of the objects involved.
Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?
no because stars can orbit each other
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.
What planet is Kepler most alike?
There is no Planet Kepler. The Kepler telescope was built to find planets in other solar systems. Planets it finds are given designations such as Kepler-62e. The telescope has found hundreds of planets with a wide range of characteristics.
What are the two modification made by Newton to Kepler's law?
ok, this is not Chinese if you read slowly.Newton made two modifications to Kepler's laws. One modification to his first law and the second to his third.First; according to Newton's third law, a planet does not orbit the exact center of the sun. Both the planet and the sun orbit their average position determined by their overall matter (center of mass), not the middle point! Because both the sun and the planet are controlled by equal gravity, the sun also moves. Kepler's first law becomes; the orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse, with the planet- sun system center of mass at one focus. think of it like this... if you and you friend (your both the same size) are each at one side of a seesaw, then the seesaw is like a straight line. now a third friend comes and seat on you...for the seesaw to still be in a straight line, the center of mass or the pole of the seesaw will have to move closer to you.get it? Kepler's first law sais; the orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse (a flat circle). Newton just added to it so the law would now be; the orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse, with the center of mass of the planet and the sun system at one focus( one edge of the orbit's circle radius).Kepler's third law; Newton added "combined mass" of the two planets to Kepler's formula of measuring a planet's time to orbit the sun. The new formula is (earth years)2 = (seminar axis)3 / (combined mass of the two planets).sooo.... Kepler's third law befor Newon was; (earth years)2 / (seminar axis)3. seminar axis is like half of the line between the two starswhen its the longest.hope i helped!!
When did Kepler find Pluto?
Neither Johannes Kepler nor the Kepler Space Telescope discovered Pluto. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, long after Johannes Kepler died and long before the Kepler telescope was created. The Kepler telescope was built to discover planets in other solar systems, not our own.
