Question 6

Keplers first law

Answer 6

Planets orbits are ellipses

“All planets move in elliptical orbits, with the Sun at one focus.”

*	A planet’s path around the Sun is not a perfect circle but an ellipse (an oval-shaped curve).
*	The Sun is located at one focus of this ellipse, not at the center.
*	This means a planet’s distance from the Sun changes as it moves in its orbit.

Question 7

Keplers second law

Answer 7

Law of equal areas
* As a planet moves around the Sun, it travels faster when it’s closer to the Sun and slower when it’s farther away.
* This happens because the planet covers equal areas in equal time intervals, even though the shape of the orbit changes the distance.
