Kepler found that all planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun being at one focus. Kepler also announced that the speed an object traveled along it's path varied according to how close the object was to the sun. He also announced that the larger a planet's orbit, the slower it travels.

No. Kepler proposed that some force kept the planets in orbit, but did not know or say what that force was. It was Isaac Newton who figured out that this force is gravity.
