Kepler's First Law

• The point of a planet's orbit farthest from the sun

• As a planet moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times

• The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

• The orbit of a planet is an ellipse. The sun is at one of the foci

• As a planet moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times

• The orbit of a planet is an ellipse. The sun is at one of the foci.

Kepler's Third Law

• The amount it takes for a planet to orbit around the sun

• The orbit of a planet is an ellipse. The sun is at one of the foci.

• The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

• As a planet moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times

major axis

• the longer axis of an ellipse, passing through its foci.

• half of the major axis

• The center of mass of two or more bodies orbiting around each other

• The point of a planet's orbit farthest from the sun

Barycenter

• half of the major axis

• The center of mass of two or more bodies orbiting around each other

• the longer axis of an ellipse, passing through its foci.

• The amount it takes for a planet to orbit around the sun
