Keplers 1st LawThe orbits of the planets are ellipses with the

Sun with earth orbiting the sun

Keplers law 2nd law2nd law-The line joining a planet to the

Sun sweeps out equal area in equal times.

-This means that the closer the planet is to the Sun, the faster it will travel.

Keplers law 3rd law3rd law-The square of the orbital period is directly

- This means that the further the planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around
