Question

The law of suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but .

Answer 1

One of Kepler's laws is that the orbits of planets are elliptical. It's not a suggestion. BTW, circles are ellipses too, but so special that their likelihood is close to zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

Kepler's first law suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but elliptical

Explanation:

The three Kepler's laws explain the motion of the planets orbiting the Sun:

- The first law tells that the orbits of the planets around the Sun are ellipses, with the Sun located at one of the two focii

- The second law tells that a line connecting the Sun with the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time

- The third law tells that the square of the orbital periods of the planets is proportional to the cube of their average distance from the Sun

As we can read, the first law tells us that the orbit of the planets is not circular, but elliptical.
