Isaac newton showed that an elliptical orbit like the one described in Kepler's laws is produced when the gravitational force is an inverse-square law, in other words if the distance doubles, the force goes to a quarter. He did this by producing the law of gravity, the laws of motion, and the differential calculus, and these are covered in school-level mathematics.
What else can I help you with?
The shape of the path of a planet or asteroid around the sun is what?
Planets remain almost perfectly spherical as they move around the sun. The paths they follow are ellipses, with the sun at one focus of each ellipse.
Which of keplers laws states the planets move in an ellipse?
It is Kepler's first law which says the planet moves in an ellipse with the Sun occupying one focus and the other focus is vacant.
What scientist stated that planets move around the Sun in an ellipse?
Kepler

Planets move around the sun in the shape of?
Planetary orbits are usually in the shape of an ellipse.
Why does a planets distance from the sun change?
To be in a perfect orbit around the Sun, maintaining always the same distance, at a specific distance a planet would need a very specific speed. Since it is unlikely that it just happens to have the correct speed, it will move around the Sun in an ellipse instead.
What is the link between the suns gravity and the motion of a planet?
The Sun's gravity causes a planet to move in its orbit. The Sun's gravity provides a centripetal force. The effects of the Sun's gravity, combined with the planet's inertia (tendency to move in a straight line), results in a planet's elliptical orbit.
Who was the man that stated that planets move around the sun in an ellipse?
The person who first stated this was Johannes Kepler.
Can you move around on Jupiter?
no you can not move around on Jupiter because it is a gas planet.
Pluto's orbit causes this planet to move from ninth and not the eighth?
neptune
What causes the planet's that are closer to the sun to move faster?
it's gravity
What men stated the plantes move around the sun in an ellipse?
That is one of Kepler's Laws, stated by Johannes Kepler.
