Keplers law that describes how fast planets travel at different points in their orbits is called the law of?
This is known as Keplers 2nd Law of Planetary Motion. It states that line drawn between a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal time intervals.
What kind of orbit would neptune have according to Keplers harmonic law?
Kepler's first law says Neptune has an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one focus. The same goes for the other planets.
According to Keplers second law Pluto will be travelling fastest around the sun when?
... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)
Does Keplers third law fit each of the planets?
Technically it doesn't precisely fit any of them, but to a first approximation it fits not only each of the planets, but every other orbiting body everywhere.
What stated the planets moved in elliptical orbits around the sun?
This is Kepler's First Law.

Which of Keplers laws is also known as the Harmonic Law?
It is the third law
How did newtons work on orbits add to work Kepler had done?
Newton derived Keplars findings from Newton's Theory of Gravity. Thus, newton 'explained' the basis for Keplars findings and extended them.
Are the planetary orbits the same as the figure we have drawn?
yes it is 99.99% the same as we have estimated the orbits of the planets using newton's and Kepler's law and they cant be wrong
Which of Keplers laws says how fast planets travel at different points in their orbit?
Kepler's second law the law of equal areas.
What law explains why the moon orbits the sun?
the law of sun explains it
What scientific law explains why the moon orbits the earth?
Newton's Law of Gravitation.
What kind of orbit would neptune have according to Keplers harmonic law?

What is Kepler's first law states that the orbits of the planets around the Sun?
Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
What are all of the planet's orbit from the sun?
According to Keplers first law of 1618 which has not been repealed yet, the planets each move in an elliptical orbit with the Sun occupying one focus. The shape of an ellipse is described by the eccentricity. For low eccentricity such as the planets' orbits have, the orbit is very close to being a circle but the most significant difference is that the Sun is off-centre.
According to Keplers second law Pluto will be travelling fastest around the sun when?
... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)... when it is closest to the Sun. (Kepler's Second Law)
What is keplers law of equal areas?
When any planet orbits any sun then the line from the planet to the sun sweeps out a certain area every second (or hour etc). For a circular orbit it is obvious that the area swept out is the same for the same time interval, no matter where you start your measurement. It turns out that even for normal, or even highly, elliptical orbits (real planets, or even comets), it remains true that the area swept out per second, or hour etc is constant. Newton showed this to be a direct consequence of an inverse square law of gravitation, and explained this observation of Kepler, deduced from many painstaking observations and measurements.
