Kepler's Laws| LATEST Astronomical Unit (AU) - the average distance between the earth and the sun Eccentricity - the degree by which the shape of an orbit differs from a circle Ellipse - An elongated circle, or oval shape, the shape of the planet's orbit. Gravity - A force of attraction between objects. Kepler's 1st Law - The orbit of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus. Kepler's 2nd Law - A line connecting the sun and a planet sweeps through equa...
