Galileo went to jail for publishing evidence that supported the sun-centered solar system theory. Why?

His ideas opposed the cultural and religious practices of his time.

What does ellipse mean?

A geometrical shape where each point is at the same total distance from two fixed points, or foci.

The ability of a given theory to allow predictions to be made.

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun

A small circle in which the center of the circle moves around a larger circle.

What is true about the area between points A, B and the Sun, and the area between points H, I and the Sun?

The area between A, B and the Sun is the largest.

The area between H, I and the Sun is the largest

There is not enough information to determine the areas

Kepler's 2nd Law deals with

the speed/area the planet travels

the shape of the planets' orbits

the length of time it takes the planet to orbit the sun

Double the distance between two objects

4 times weaker gravity attraction

4 times greater gravity attraction

r is the distance between the centers of the 2 masses

G is the gravitational field strength

F is the repulsive gravitational force
