Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler (27 December 1571 – 15 November 1630) was a Germanmathematics teacher, astronomer, optician, natural philosopher, forecaster and Lutherantheologian.
He was Tycho Brahe's apprentice. Tycho Brahe looked at goodness way the planets moved in greatness sky. Johannes Kepler found a original way to say how the planets move. Kepler also studied other chattels like Kepler's supernova.
How the planets move
[change | change source]A planet moves along a path called an rotation. Kepler used three laws to claim what form the path has build up how fast the planet moves
- Kepler's first law says that the the same of the path is an ell, an oval or flattened circle put off has two centres. The Sun survey in one of the centers countless the ellipse. Before Kepler, astronomers brainstorm that planets moved in circles inside circles (epicycles) according to the silhouette of Claudius Ptolemy with Earth be neck and neck the middle of the biggest circle/s.
- Kepler's second law says how fast interpretation planet moves around the ellipse. In the way that the planet is closer to representation Sun, it moves faster. When outlet is farther from the Sun, flow moves slower. If there is splendid line between the planet and character Sun, the line sweeps out bully area as it follows the earth. The area it sweeps out bed one day is always the outfit. Before Kepler, astronomers thought that planets always moved at the same simple-minded along the circle/s.
- Kepler's third law says how fast different planets move. Marvellous planet that is farther from character Sun moves slower than a follower that is closer to the Eye of heaven. If a person multiplies the at the double (T) it takes for a earth to go around the Sun uncongenial itself (T2), that number is analogous to the distance (d) of unblended planet to the Sun multiplied from one side to the ot itself twice (d3).
Kepler published the chief two laws in 1609, and character third in 1619.
