What led to the discovery of three more planets than those that the ancient observers knew about?

The development of the telescope in the 17th century allowed astronomers to observe planets beyond those visible to the naked eye. This led to the discovery of Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846, and Pluto in 1930, expanding the known planets beyond the original five visible to ancient civilizations.


Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are?

Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are elliptical, with the Sun at one of the focal points. This discovery led to his laws of planetary motion, which describe how planets move in their orbits.


What are reasons for space travel?

Space travel allows for scientific research, exploration, and discovery of other planets, moons, and celestial bodies. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the origins of the universe and the potential for finding extraterrestrial life. Additionally, space travel has led to advancements in technology and innovation that benefit society as a whole.


What led to the discovery of the distant pulling planets?

The discovery of distant planets being pulled by unseen gravitational forces, such as exoplanets, was a result of advances in technology such as the development of powerful telescopes and space-based observatories that enabled astronomers to detect the subtle gravitational effects of these planets on their parent stars. The observations of these gravitational interactions allowed scientists to infer the presence of these unseen planets and characterize their orbits.


What question was Kepler unable to answer?

he wondered if there was a reason that the planets closest to the sun move faster than the planets farther away.
