Time is a universal thing, it is always there it is always progressing at the same rate never moving backwards, time may be defined as anything. Before 1960 it was defined as a 'solar day', and a second was defined to be (1/60)*(1/60)*(1/24) of a solar day, then in 1967 we changed to the atomic clock which measures vibrations of cesium atoms, now one second is defined to be : 9192631770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium-133 atom.

like i said time may be defined by anything

Is it true that Kepler's laws holds only for the six planets known in his time?

No. It holds for other planets, and for any other situation where one objects orbits another - for example, moons orbiting planets, stars orbiting a black hole, etc.


Why don't planets bump into each other?

because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.


How does the distance affect the time it takes the earth and the other planets to go around the sun?

The time it takes for the Earth and other planets to go around the sun is mainly influenced by their distance from the sun. Closer planets have shorter orbital periods due to the stronger gravitational pull of the sun, while farther planets have longer orbital periods due to weaker gravitational forces. This relationship is described by Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion.
