Who wrote the theory for the gravitational laws of planetary motion?

There are numerous theories of planetary motion. Ptolemaeus (earth in the centre), Copernicus (the sun in the centre, planets orbit around it), Kepler (planet orbits are ellipses) all wrote such theories.


How is Keppler related to Solar System?

Well, seeing as he was a Mathematician and Astronomer, he is closely related to the Solar System. During the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century Johannes Kepler discovered and documented the laws of planetary motion. His studies also laid the groundwork for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Johannes Kepler was the scientist who included three laws of planetary motion as part of his heliocentric theory of the universe. These laws, known as Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.


What is the date for the Kepler universe theory?

April 27, 4977 B.C. That was when he once calculated that the universe began. Or, you may mean when he published his Laws of Planetary Motion. He published his first 2 laws in 1609 and his 3rd law around 1619.


How did Newton alter Keplerʼs three laws?
