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.


Do the planet have orbit?

Each planet is in its own orbit and obey's Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Newton later discovered that the Sun's gravity is what makes the planets move in their orbits in the way they do.


Newton learned that the orbits of planets are the result of what two forces?

Newton learned that the orbits of planets are the result of the gravitational force between the planet and the Sun, which causes the planet to move in an elliptical orbit, and the planet's inertia, which causes it to continue moving in a straight line.


What planet do comets orbit?

Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.


Does Venus orbit a planet?

No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon


Did newton discovered that the balance between gravity and keeps the planets in the orbit?

Yes, Isaac Newton discovered that the balance between the gravitational pull of the sun and the forward motion of a planet keeps it in orbit around the sun. This is described by his laws of motion and law of universal gravitation.


Does smaller planet orbit bigger planet or does bigger planet orbit smaller planet?

Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.


Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?

The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.


Why was the discovery of Neptune a major confirmation of Newton's law of gravitaion?

There were anomalies in Uranus' orbit that astronomers thought could be evidence of another planet pulling it out of orbit. This theory was later confirmed. It supports the law of gravitation because of Neptune's exertion of a force on Uranus that caused it to have a different orbit than predicted.


Is an orbit why a planet is a planet?

no because stars can orbit each other


The planet that has an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?

Neptune.


What is the shape of a planet's orbit and what does it contribute?

The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
