Question

in the early 1600s, johannes kepler proposed three laws of planetary motion. kepler was able to summarize the carefully collected data of his mentor - tycho brahe - with three statements that described the motion of planets in a sun - centered solar system. keplers three laws are commonly referred to as 1) the law of ellipses 2) the law of 3) the law of harmonies. keplers 1st orbit states each planet moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun - with the sun at one of the two. a planet is to the sun during perihelion and from the sun during aphelion. the deviation of an ellipse from being circular is called its eccentricity. the eccentricity is given a value between 0 and 1. the closer the value to 0 the close the ellipse is to a perfect circle and the closer the foci are together. have very eccentric orbits and they can take hundreds of years to orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

Kepler's second law is about equal areas. Ellipses have foci. Perihelion is closest, aphelion is furthest. Comets have very eccentric orbits.

Answer:

1. EQUAL AREAS
2. FOCI
3. CLOSEST
4. FURTHEST
5. COMETS
