Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion:

1] Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus

2] The line form the sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas of space in equal time intervals

3] The squares of the times of revolution (days, months or years) of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their average distances from the sun.

Which of Keplers laws is also known as the Harmonic Law?

Kepler's Third Law, also known as the Harmonic Law, states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.


What kind of orbit would neptune have according to Keplers harmonic law?

Kepler's first law says Neptune has an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one focus. The same goes for the other planets.


Keplers law that describes how fast planets travel at different points in their orbits is called the law of?

Kepler's law that describes how fast planets travel at different points in their orbits is called the Law of Equal Areas. This law states that a planet will travel faster when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away, so that the area it sweeps out in a given time is the same regardless of its distance from the Sun.


What is a consequence of Keplers Second Law?

A consequence of Kepler's Second Law (law of equal areas) is that a planet moves faster in its orbit when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away. This results in an uneven distribution of orbital velocities throughout the planet's orbit.


Which orbit in Keplers law would have the longest period?

An orbit with a large semimajor axis will have the longest period according to Kepler's third law. This means that an orbit with the greatest average distance from the central body will have the longest period.


Which of keplers laws states the planets move in an ellipse?

It is Kepler's first law which says the planet moves in an ellipse with the Sun occupying one focus and the other focus is vacant.

Which of Keplers laws says how fast planets travel at different points in their orbit?

Kepler's second law, also known as the law of equal areas, states that a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times as it moves around the Sun. This means that a planet travels faster when it is closer to the Sun in its orbit and slower when it is farther away.
