3rd Law (Law of Harmonies)		Planets orbit the Sun in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
1st Law (Law of Ellipses)		A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times, so it moves faster when it’s nearer the Sun and slower when it’s farther away.
2nd Law (Law of Equal Areas)		A planet’s orbital period is proportional to its average distance from the Sun (so farther planets take much longer to orbit).

3rd Law (Law of Harmonies)

Planets orbit the Sun in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.

1st Law (Law of Ellipses)

A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times, so it moves faster when it’s nearer the Sun and slower when it’s farther away.

2nd Law (Law of Equal Areas)

A planet’s orbital period is proportional to its average distance from the Sun (so farther planets take much longer to orbit).

Part 2: Second Law
Observe Mercury's orbit played at different speeds:
What do you notice about Mercury's speed as it orbits the Sun?

Kepler’s second law states that a planet speeds up as it gets closer to the Sun, and slows down as it moves farther away.
Observe Pluto (orbit in red). Does Pluto follow Kepler’s second law?

The image below shows Pluto in its counterclockwise orbit around the Sun. Pluto's orbit is highlighted in red. Which of the following statements is true?

Part 3: Third Law
Kepler’s third law describes the relationship between a planet’s orbital radius, or its average distance from the Sun, and the planet’s period, or amount of time to complete an orbit.
How do you think the period of a planet will change as its distance from the Sun increases?

Summarize Kepler's Laws.
