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.
All scientists from the Babylonians onwards. The motion of the planets was the spur to understanding how it happened, and from that came the idea of using numbers to describe positions (the Babylonians), then geometry and basic physics (the Greeks), Copernicus's theory in the 16th century, leading to Kepler's laws of planetary motion (1618) and then more physics from Galileo leading to Newton's law of gravity and his laws of motion in the 18th century.
Sir Isaac newton wrote the theory for the gravitational laws of planetary motion. His book Principia explains about this theory.
Isaac Newton
The scientist who wrote about gravity and the laws of motion was Sir Isaac Newton.
Johannes Kepler was one of the founders of astonomy as we know it today. He left behind a huge body of work and a loving family, but did not win awards that are recorded.
Albert Einstein is very famous for the the theory of relativity . His many contributions to physics include the special and general theories of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the first post-Newtonian expansion, explaining the perihelion advance of Mercury, prediction of the deflection of light by gravity and gravitational lensing, the first fluctuation dissipation theorem which explained the Brownian movement of molecules, the photon theory and wave-particle duality, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, the semiclassical version of the Schrödinger equation, and the quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose--Einstein condensation. Einstein is best known for his theories of special relativity and general relativity. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."[3] Einstein published more than 300 scientific and over 150 non-scientific works.[4] Einstein additionally wrote and commentated prolifically on numerous philosophical and political issues. He is often regarded as the father of modern physics.[5]
Copemicus' theory was that earth is not the center of the universe, but that the sun is. He wrote a whole book on how the universe changed and about the earth, moon and planets travelling around the solar system. His books were banned by the Pope as this idea was different to what the Church (ignorantly) asserted. Finally another scientist proved that Copemicus' theory made more sense. The theory was finally acknowledged as being more true by the Church much later.
Claudius Ptolemy and Nicolaus Copernicus both described the universe. Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, wrote a book that combined all knowledge of astronomy that he could find. He expanded ancient theories with careful mathematical calculations in what was called the Ptolemaic Theory. Ptolemy thought the Earth was the center of the Universe and that the sun and other planets revolved around Earth. Although this theory was incorrect as we now know, it predicted motions of the planets better than any other theory at the time did. Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, published a new theory that would eventually revolutionize astronomy. Copernicus thought the Sun was the center of the universe, and all the planets (including Earth) orbit the sun. Although Copernicus correctly thought that the planets orbit the sun, his theory did not replace Ptolemaic theory immediately. When Copernicus's theory was accepted, major changes in science and society called the Copernican revolution took place.
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.

Copernicus didn't disprove goecentrism, that was done by Johannes Kepler, who wrote his 3 Laws of Planetary Motion. These were then expanded on by Newton to justify his theory of Gravitation.
He wrote the laws of motion and the theory of gravity.
He wrote Commentariolus (never published) and On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres (most famous work).
Galileo Galile wrote "the Theory of Relativity", and Einstein wrote the General theory of relativity and the special theory of relativity.
Newton wrote all about the three laws of motion in his book which was published on July 5, 1687. The book is named Philosophiae Naturalis Principa Mathmetica. It is latin for the mathmetic principle of natural philosophy. It is the scientific book that sir isaac newton wrote on the three laws of motion and universal gravitational.
Kepler's observations supported the fact that the plants orbit in an ellipse. He wrote the Laws of Planetary Motion stating all planets orbit the sun and all planets orbits are elliptical.
That's one of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, which he figured out fromstudying Tycho's lifetime of watching the planets and keeping notes.About 100 years after Kepler, Newton wrote his theory of universal gravitation,and showed that if gravity is true, then the planets mustbehave that way.
A telescope that you can make out the colors clear. He also worked on light theory and the 3 laws of motion.
1832 is when he wrote about the groupl theory.
Isaac Newton wrote the Laws of Motion.
