Prompt

Explain Kepler's laws of orbital motion as you would to a capable student, in 3-4 sentences.

Generation

Kepler's three laws describe how planets orbit the Sun. First, planets move in elliptical (oval-shaped) orbits with the Sun at one focus, not in perfect circles. Second, planets sweep out equal areas in equal times—meaning they move faster when closer to the Sun and slower when farther away. Third, there's a mathematical relationship between a planet's orbital period and its distance from the Sun: the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the average orbital distance, allowing us to predict how long any planet takes to complete its orbit.
