Explain the concept of planetary motion in your own words.

• Planetary motion is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.

• Planetary motion is the result of the planets being pushed by solar winds.

• Planetary motion refers to the movement of planets around the sun in elliptical orbits.

Explain the characteristics of elliptical orbits.

• The characteristics of elliptical orbits include the shape of an ellipse, the presence of two foci, and varying speeds of the orbiting object.

• Elliptical orbits are square in shape, have no foci, and the orbiting object always moves at the same speed.

• Elliptical orbits have a triangular shape, three foci, and the orbiting object moves in a straight line.

• The characteristics of elliptical orbits include a perfect circle shape, one focus, and constant speed of the orbiting object.

What is the law of orbits?

• All planets move in perfect circles around the sun

• The speed of a planet is inversely proportional to its distance from the sun

• The orbits of all planets are identical in shape and size

• All planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.

Describe the law of orbits.

• All planets move in perfect circles with the sun at the center.

• The orbits of planets are random and unpredictable.

• The distance between a planet and the sun remains constant as the planet orbits.

• All planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
