Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are?
Ellipses.
Shape of planets' orbits discovered by Kepler?
ellipses.
What kind of orbits do most planets have?
ALL closed gravitational orbits are ellipses.
One of the discoveries which led to the modern view of the solar system was that the orbits of the planets are?
Ellipses
One of the discoveries that led to the modern view of the Solar System was that the BLANK of the planets were ellipses?
One of the discoveries that led to the modern view of the Solar System was that the "orbits" of the planets were ellipses.
What of the planets are ellipses?
their orbits
What are ellipses?
Ellipses are a scientific word for the shape of an oval. for example the planets orbits are ellipses.
Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are?
Ellipses.
Shape of planets' orbits discovered by Kepler?
ellipses.
What kind of orbits do most planets have?
ALL closed gravitational orbits are ellipses.
What shape are most planets' orbits around the sun in specific the earth?
ALL planetary orbits are ellipses.
What date did Johannes Kepler discover ellipses?
Kepler did not discover ellipses. In 1605 he discovered that the orbits of the planets were ellipses rather than perfect circles.
What is the difference between Copernicus and Kepler description of planetary orbits?
Kepler realised the planets orbits are not circles; they are ellipses.
Do planets move in elliptical orbits?
The planets move intheir ellipticalorbits becauseof the gravitation of the Sun combined withthe inertial velocity of the planets(tangentialto their orbital paths). Mathematics shows the resulting orbits must be ellipses. (Some of the ellipses are in factalmost circles.)
What was Kepter's theory of the solar system?
Tycho Brahe made very accurate observations of the solar system. Brahe's assistant, Johannes Kepler, used the observations to figure out the shape of the planets orbits. When he used circular orbits, his calculations did not fit the observations. But after years of detailed calculations, he found that the orbit of each planet is called an ellipse. An ellipse is an oval shape.
In the solar system the orbits of the planets are best describe as?
Planets revolve around the Sun. The Sun does not revolve or rotate around the planets. Planetary orbits are best described as an ellipse. Revolving is when the planet goes around the Sun. Rotating is when the planet spins on its own axis. The Earth does one revolution in 365 days but one rotation in 24 hours.
