Solution

Laws of planetary motion were discovered by Johannes Kepler.

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler formulated the three laws of planetary motion in the early 17th century by meticulously analysing the precise astronomical observations made by his predecessor, Tycho Brahe. These laws revolutionised astronomy by demonstrating that planets travel in elliptical orbits around the Sun, rather than in perfect circles.
