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.
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.
no because stars can orbit each other
Under the Sun's gravity a planet follows an elliptical orbit that conforms to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. This was discovered at the end of the 1600s by Isaac Newton.
Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
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.
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 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.
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
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
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.
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
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.

Neptune.
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
