उत्तर
- Kepler’s first law: The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci.
- Kepler’s second law: The line joining the planet and the sun sweeps equal areas in equal intervals of time.
- Kepler’s third law: The square of the orbital period of revolution of a planet around the Sun is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance of the planet from the Sun.

Out of aphelion and perihelion, where is the speed of the earth more and why?
A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity ω, kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum l. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
