Explain Kepler's first (Law of Orbits) law forplanetary motion. |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :`implies`Law of Orbits :`implies` All planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun situated at one of the foci of the ELLIPSE.  `implies`An ellipse traced out by a PLANET around the sun. The closest point is P and farthest point is A. P is called the Perihelion and A the aphelion. The SEMI major axis is half the distance AP. `implies`This law was a deviation from the Copernican model which allowed only circular orbits. (The ellipse of which the circle is a special case is a closed CURVE). |
