The video tutorial covers Kepler's third law of planetary motion, explaining that the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. The teacher clarifies the law, discusses constants involved, and uses data from the solar system to illustrate the concept. The video concludes with a graph showing the relationship between orbital period squared and semi-major axis cubed, emphasizing the use of specific units to simplify calculations.
