Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer and mathematician who gave three laws of planetary motion.

Kepler describes the planets’ orbits as :

(B) The orbits of the planets are elliptical.

Kepler's laws of planetary motion

There are three laws of planetary motion:

  • Every planet’s orbit is an ellipse, with the Sun at a focus.

  • A line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

  • The square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

  • The third law is most often used, so it's usually called Kepler’s third law (of planetary motion).

Thus, Kepler's describes the planets' orbits as :(B) The planets’ orbits are elliptical.
