What was Johannes Keplers major contribution?

Known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion.


What are the rules summarising planetary movements called?

The rules summarizing planetary movements are called Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. These laws were formulated by the astronomer Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century and describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.


What is a word that is related to keplers three laws and starts with the letter m?

Mindboggling? They are "Laws of Planetary Motion". So I guess the answer is "motion".


Who was the scientist who showed that gravity accounts for keplers laws of planetary motion?

Isaac Newton


Does the speed of planetary orbits increase the closer the planet is to the sun?

Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets move faster in their orbits when they are closer to the sun. This is due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun, which causes the planet to accelerate as it gets closer.


What is the similarities do the movements of the planets share?

They all obey Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion.


Do the planets closest to the sun travel slower or faster around the sun?

Planets closer to the sun travel faster around it due to the stronger gravitational pull from the sun. This is described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion, where planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods.


Regarding movement of planets the three laws of planetary motion include all except what A When a planet is closer to the sun it moves faster than when it is farther away?

Not knowing what the following is will make it hard to know which is not a law of planetary motion. It is helpful to know the answer choices.


Do the planets closest to the sun travel slowest in their orbits?

No, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.


What two things is gravitational field strength dependent on?

Distance from the body and the mass of the body. See Keplers laws of planetary motion for more info.


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 the difference between geocentric heliocentric and planetary motion?

Geocentric motion of planet is that in which earth is at the centre of the universe and all other planets revolving around it.Heliocentric motion of planets is that in which sun is the of universe and other planets revolving around it.In planetary motion all the planets includes Earth revolving around the Sun in their fixed orbit.
