Kepler's laws of planetary motion are a set of three laws formulated by Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century. These laws describe the motion of planets around the sun and are as follows:
1. The Law of Ellipses: The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the two foci.
2. The Law of Equal Areas: A line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
3. 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.
These laws are fundamental principles in the field of astronomy and have been confirmed through observations and calculations.
