Explore the principles that explain the motion of planets around the Sun. Dive into each law for detailed information and inspire your celestial explorations!

First Law: The Law of Ellipses

Planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of the focal points. This law revolutionized the way we understand the heavens. Read more.

Second Law: The Law of Equal Areas

A line drawn from a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. This elegant law indicates the variable speeds of planets. Read more.

Third Law: The Law of Harmonies

The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This showcases the mathematical harmony in our cosmos. Read more.
