Is it true that Kepler's laws holds only for the six planets known in his time?

No. It holds for other planets, and for any other situation where one objects orbits another - for example, moons orbiting planets, stars orbiting a black hole, etc.

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 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.
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.
