Kepler
Several astronomers wrote theories of planetary motion. Ptolemy's theories date to antiquity. Copernicus wrote his theories in the early 16th century. Kepler's theories were written in the early 17th century.
Johannes Kepler was born in Germany in 1571 and was a mathematician, astrologer and astronomer. He was best know for his laws of planetary motion which were the foundation for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Johannes Kepler, a German mathematician and astronomer, formulated three laws of planetary motion, which described the motion of planets around the sun. These laws provided the foundation for Isaac Newton to develop his law of universal gravitation.
Isaac newton discovered the three principles of planetary motion
Well, seeing as he was a Mathematician and Astronomer, he is closely related to the Solar System. During the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century Johannes Kepler discovered and documented the laws of planetary motion. His studies also laid the groundwork for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
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.
The astronomer's theory may propose a specific model for planetary motion, such as circular orbits or fixed paths, which often contrasts with the actual elliptical orbits described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion. In reality, planets move in elliptical paths around the sun, influenced by gravitational forces, which can also lead to perturbations from other celestial bodies. While early theories laid the groundwork for understanding planetary dynamics, modern physics incorporates these complexities, providing a more accurate representation of how planets move in the solar system.
Johannes Kepler was the scientist who included three laws of planetary motion as part of his heliocentric theory of the universe. These laws, known as Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.
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.
He didn't alter them. He showed that his theory of planetary motion under gravity was consistent with them.
