Kepler discovered that the orbit of each other planet is?
He discovered that avery planet has a ellipcial orbit, which means oval.
How much water does Kepler the planet have?
There is no single planet named Kepler; rather Kepler is a prefix added to the designations of planets discovered by the Kepler telescope. Several planets discovered by Kepler, including Kepler-438b, Kepler-442b, Kepler 440b, and Kepler 296f, orbit in the habitable zones of their stars, which means they might have liquid water on their surfaces. Currently we do not have the technology to determine if they actually have liquid water.
How are new planets discovered?
There are a couple of techniques. The one used by the Kepler Space Telescope uses the tiny differences in the apparent brightness of a distant star when a planet passes between that star and the Kepler Space Telescope. By analyzing the light patterns over a period of time, we can calculate the orbital period of the planet around the star. Please note that in order for this to work, the distant solar system's orbital plane must be precisely aligned with the Earth; if the orbital plane were tipped even slightly, the planet would never pass between the Kepler and the star. So it's pretty limited in which planets it might detect. However, the fact that the Kepler Space Telescope has discovered thousands of extra-solar planets means that planets must be as common as dirt. We used to believe that planets might be rare; now we're pretty sure that they are quite common.
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.

How do the planets and moons get named?
Most planets/moons can be legally named if they are discovered by someone. This means standing in front of a telescope and staring out into space until you find something, everyone else has missed...
What does the prefix tele mean in telescope?
The prefix "tele" in telescope comes from the Greek word "téle," which means far off or distant. In the context of telescope, it suggests that the device is used for viewing distant objects, such as stars and planets.
Why did they name it a telescope?
Tele means far away scope means to see
What does scope mean in telescope?
Tele means "Far" Scope means "To view"
What are the advatages and disadvantages of the hubble telescope?
it means poo
How many years Neptune became the farthest planet in the solar system?
Neptune has always been the farthest planet, but we didn't always know that. On August 24, 2006, when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined what it means to be a "planet", Neptune earned it's badge as the most distant (from the sun) planet in our solar system. Prior to that, when Pluto was referred to as a planet, it last crossed inside of Neptune's orbit on February 7, 1979 leaving Neptune as the most distant planet until February 11, 1999. Pluto's orbit crosses inside of Neptune's orbit for 20 years out of every 248.
What is the greek word for telescope?
The Greek word "teleskopos".
