Question

how did kepler describe the planets orbits? the planets orbits are circular. the planets orbits are elliptical. the planets and the sun orbit earth. the planets have miniature orbits called epicycles.

Explanation:

Kepler's first law of planetary motion states that the planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of the foci. This replaced the earlier - held view of circular orbits. The geocentric model (planets and Sun orbiting Earth) is incorrect, and the concept of epicycles was part of the Ptolemaic model.

Answer:

The planets’ orbits are elliptical.
