Kepler improved on Galileo's ideas by formulating his three laws of planetary motion, which provided a mathematical framework for understanding the orbits of planets around the sun. While Galileo focused on observational evidence and the concept of inertia, Kepler introduced the notion that planetary orbits are elliptical rather than circular. This shift not only refined the heliocentric model established by Copernicus but also laid the groundwork for Newton's law of universal gravitation. Kepler's laws emphasized that celestial bodies follow predictable paths, enhancing the scientific understanding of astronomy.
What else can I help you with?
How much water does Kepler the planet have?
There is no single planet named Kepler; rather Kepler is a prefix added to the designations of planets discovered by the Kepler telescope. Several planets discovered by Kepler, including Kepler-438b, Kepler-442b, Kepler 440b, and Kepler 296f, orbit in the habitable zones of their stars, which means they might have liquid water on their surfaces. Currently we do not have the technology to determine if they actually have liquid water.
Is Kepler a planet?
No. Kepler is a telescope created to find planets orbiting other stars. Planets found using it are given designations beginning with Kepler, such as Kepler 440b.
How was the planet Kepler 22b named?
Kepler-22b was given its the designation Kepler as it is one of many planets discovered by the Kepler observatory. The 22b refers to it being the innermost (and only known) planet orbiting the star Kepler-22.
What is the evidence of Kepler's universe theory?
because kepler was smart
Is there a planet called Kepler?
No. There are, however, many planets discovered by a spacecraft called Kepler and given designations such as Kepler-69c.
How did Kepler expand on Copernicus' ideas?
Kepler showed that planetary orbits were actually ellipses, not circles as proposed by Copernicus.
What coperniesn ideas did Kepler prove?
The only part of Copernicus's theory that Kepler retained was the idea that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System.
What was galileos accomplishment?
The telescope
How did Kepler's work improve on or support Copernicus' heliocentric?
Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
How did newton's work on orbit add to the work Kepler had done?
Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.

What was Galileos contribution?
Found planets and satellites.
What was some of galileos inventions?
the funky worm

Which one are you referring to?
What were the galileos siblings names?

How did Kepler improve Copernicus theory?
He discovered that planets move in ellipses not circles and that the sun stays in it's own place.
