Planetary motion almost fits into the category of Uniform Circular Motion. Uniform Circular Motion is an object moving around a circle of constant radius at a constant speed. The planets fill all of these requirements except for the fact that their orbits are slightly elliptical. Their orbital paths are almost perfect circles, but they are so close that for Uniform Circular Motion problems, it is not likely that considering the orbits to be circular will produce an incorrect answer.

How many laws of planetary motion did Johannes Kepler discover?
3 laws' of planetary motion
How does Kepler and first law of planetary motion overthrow one of the basic beliefs of classical astronomy How about Kepler and second law?
Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, which states that planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths rather than perfect circles, challenged the classical astronomy belief that planetary orbits were circular and uniform. This shift underscored the complexities of celestial mechanics and the sun's central role in the solar system. Kepler's Second Law further refuted classical views by demonstrating that a planet moves faster when closer to the sun and slower when farther away, highlighting the variable speed of planetary motion and contradicting the notion of uniform circular motion.
According to the three laws of planetary motion planetary orbits are in the shape of an?
According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planetary orbits are in the shape of an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.
Who figured out the laws of planetary motion?
Keplar figured out the laws of planetary motion using Tycho Brahe's data.
Was rudolphine tables based on uniform circular motion?
Yes, the Rudolphine Tables, compiled by Johannes Kepler, were based on the motion of planets in elliptical orbits around the sun, rather than uniform circular motion. Kepler's laws of planetary motion provided a more accurate description of the planets' movements compared to previous models based on circular orbits.
What is the meaning of uniform accelarated motion?
What is the meaning of uniform accelarated motion?
What is the similarities do the movements of the planets share?
They all obey Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion.
Types of motion?
uniform and non uniform motion uniform motion [ equal distance in equal intervals of time is known as uniform motion] non uniform motion [equal distance at unequal intervals of time is known as non uniform motion]
Is the motion of earth a uniform circular motion?
yes the motion of earth around the sun is uniform
Does direction affect uniform motion?
No, direction does not affect uniform motion. Uniform motion is characterized by constant speed and direction, so as long as the speed remains constant, changing direction will not impact the uniform motion.
What is the difference between uniform linear motion an uniform circular motion?
linear is which is on a straight path and circular motion is which has a curved path. *In a uniform linear motion,the velocity is constant and the acceleration is zero.So,uniform linear motion is an unaccelerated motion. *In uniform circular motion the velocity can be variable although the speed is uniform.So,it is an accelerated motion.
What is the other name of non-uniform motion?
"Non-uniform" motion is "accelerated" motion.
