What are the three fundamental laws of planetary motion which describe the copernican theory?

There are no fundamental laws behind the Copernican theory. The three laws of planetary motion that we use now were discovered by Johannes Kepler and published in 1609, sixty-six years after Copernicus died. Kepler introduced the new idea of elliptical orbits. The idea that the Sun is at the centre (loosely speaking) was the only part of the Copernican theory that Kepler retained.


When is the earliest time you can experience spotting?

Spotting can occur as early as about six to twelve days after conception during the implantation of the embryo into the uterus lining. This is often one of the earliest signs of pregnancy.


The clockwise spin of a planet or moon as seen from above the north pole of the planet?

Actually, in THIS solar system, most of the things that spin spin counter-clockwise. All of the planetary orbits are CCW; most of the moons orbit CCW. Out of eight planets, six spin CCW, and of the others, one is tipped sideways and the other hardly spins at all. We don't know about ALL of the various moons, but most of the moons we have examined spin CCW. Exceptions exist, but are rare. Why does everything spin CCW? Best guess is that the planetary nebula that formed the Sun and planets was itself rotating counter-clockwise. We expect that we will find that other solar systems will turn out to be split about 50-50.


How does earth's velocity change as it goes around the sun?

Earth's velocity around the Sun changes slightly throughout a given year. This is because Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse that deviates slightly from a true circle. When Earth is closest to the Sun, in early January (Jan. 04), its velocity is a bit higher that its average yearly orbital velocity. This point in Earth's orbit is called perihelion. Six months later, on or about July fourth, Earth is at aphelion, its farthest distance from the Sun for a given year. During this time, Earth's velocity is slower than the yearly average. Earth's average orbital speed is 107,200 km per hour, or 66,610 miles per hour. When Earth is closer to the Sun, it moves faster; and when farther from the Sun, a little bit slower than the average.


What do the six stars mean?

The six stars often represent six important values or characteristics. Examples include the six core Olympic values (excellence, friendship, respect, courage, determination, and inspiration) or the six branches of philosophy (metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, logic, and politics).

What are the Six basic types of motion?

The six basic types of motion are linear motion (straight-line motion), circular motion (rotation along a curve), reciprocating motion (back-and-forth motion), oscillating motion (repetitive swinging motion), vibratory motion (small rapid movements), and random motion (irregular movement in all directions).
