What is the difference between newton and Kepler theories?

Newton's theories, primarily articulated in his laws of motion and universal gravitation, describe how objects interact through forces, emphasizing the mathematical relationships between mass, distance, and gravity. In contrast, Kepler's theories focus on the motion of planets, specifically their elliptical orbits around the sun, outlined in his three laws of planetary motion. While Kepler's work provided the observational framework for planetary motion, Newton's laws offered the underlying physical principles that explain why those motions occur. Essentially, Kepler described the "how" of planetary motion, while Newton explained the "why."


Who was T A Carrington?

T. A. Carrington was a British astronomer and mathematician known for his work in planetary astronomy. He made significant contributions to the understanding of the orbits and motions of the planets. Carrington is best known for his calculation of the rotation period of the sun.


Who analyzed the motions of planets?

Tycho Bache and Johannes Kepler. Tycho watched and records tons of data of the moments of planets, but his assistant, Johannes Kepler analyzed it all and made theories about the movements to better understand them (this was after Tycho passes away).


How does gravity affect planetary motion?

The mutual gravitational forces that attract a planet and the sun to each other are responsible for keeping the planet in orbit around the sun.


What is the adjective form for planet?

The adjective form of "planet" is "planetary." It describes anything related to or characteristic of planets, such as planetary systems, planetary atmospheres, or planetary science.
