-- If you want to send a space ship from the earth to, let's say, Mars, you need to know how Mars is going to move, so that you know what kind of transfer orbit to put the space ship into, and to be sure that Mars will be there when the ship gets there. Kepler's laws tell you how Mars moves. -- If you want to send a space ship from the earth to, let's say, Mars, you need to know how it will move once it leaves the earth and its rockets shut down. Kepler's laws tell you how the space ship is going to move. -- If an astronaut wants to put on his space suit, step out of the Shuttle, and take a little space-walk around, he'll want to know how HE will move once he's outside, so that he can be sure not to float too far away from the Shuttle. Kepler's laws tell how HE will move in his orbit around the earth.

What was Johannes Keplers major contribution?
Known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion.
What is a word that is related to keplers three laws and starts with the letter m?
Mindboggling? They are "Laws of Planetary Motion". So I guess the answer is "motion".
Who was the scientist who showed that gravity accounts for keplers laws of planetary motion?
Isaac Newton
How did newton explain Kepler's laws?
he supported his ways and thiught of better ways to replace keplers half right ways
What two things is gravitational field strength dependent on?
Distance from the body and the mass of the body. See Keplers laws of planetary motion for more info.
What was Johannes Kepler known for?
Johannes Kepler(1571-1630) was a German astronomy and natrual philosophere who was known for his ability in formulating and verifying the three laws of planetary motion, which are now known as Keplers's Laws.
What are johnna Keplers three laws?
Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion:1] Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus2] The line form the sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas of space in equal time intervals3] The squares of the times of revolution (days, months or years) of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their average distances from the sun.
What was the date of Keplers theory?
April 27, 4977 B.C. That was when he once calculated that the universe began. Or, you may mean when he published his Laws of Planetary Motion. He published his first 2 laws in 1609 and his 3rd law around 1619.
