| Keplers Laws
(only works for objects orbiting the Sun) |
In Depth Article |
| Law #1 |
All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci. |
| Law #2 |
A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time. |
| Law #3 |
The squares of the sidereal periods (of revolution) of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the Sun.
P2 = A3
(Orbital Period in Earth Years)2 = (Mean Distance between the object and the Sun in Astronomical Units)3 |
| Newton’s version of Kepler’s 3rd Law |
M1 + M2 = A3/P2 |
