INTRODUCTION
This presentation is about Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630), who was a german
astronomer and mathematician.

EARLY YEARSKepler was born into a family with precarious economic situation, his family’s fortune had declined consideralbly by the time he was born.
His curiosity for astronomy was sparked when he witness The Great Comet of 1577, when he was 6 years old.

STUDIES In University of Tubinga,
he studies philosophy, theology and astronomy.
He became an Copernican and during a student dispute, he defends heliocentrism from both a theoretical and theological perspective.

PERSONAL LIFE In December 1595, Kepler was introduced to Barbara Müller, a 23-
year-old from a noble family. Barbara’s father opposed to the marriage due to Kepler’s poverty but
relented after the publication of Mysterium.

The law itself “The orbits of the planets are ellipses, with the Sun at
one focus of the ellipse.”

THE LAW OF EQUAL AREAS

“The line joining the planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times as the planet travels around the ellipse.”

THE AREAS OF ALL TRIANGLES ARE THE SAME SIZE.

The Law
“The period of a planet's orbit squared is proportional to its average distance from the sun cubed”
![Page 17: Johannes Kepler and his laws](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042515/5482f3975806b5d4048b4730/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ReasonKepler was trying to find some kind of relationship or pattern to be able to explain the spacing of the planets in our universe. He found that there was a relationship between the speed of the planet’s orbit and the distance it is from the sun.

Average DistanceThe average distance of a planet to the sun is equal to its semi-major axis. The semi-major axis is half of the major axis which is the longest diameter of the planet’s orbit. This distance is measured in astronomical units (one astronomical unit is the distance from the earth to the sun).
![Page 19: Johannes Kepler and his laws](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042515/5482f3975806b5d4048b4730/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PeriodThe period of a planet is the time it takes to make a complete orbit around the sun. this time is measured in years.

FormulaKnowing the period (P) and the average distance (a) of a planet, we can use the following formula:
P2=a3
This formula only works for our
solar system.
