# Kepler's Three Laws of Orbital Motion 1. **Law of Ellipses**: Planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse. 2. **Law of Equal Areas**: A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time (planets move faster when closer to the Sun). 3. **Law of Periods**: The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (T² ∝ a³). ## Why It Matters These laws were the first accurate mathematical description of planetary motion and provided crucial evidence that overthrew the ancient Earth-centered model of the universe. They laid the groundwork for Newton's law of universal gravitation and remain essential today for calculating spacecraft trajectories, predicting satellite orbits, and discovering exoplanets around distant stars.
