Question

What are some applications of Kepler’s laws still in use today?

Answer 1

to plot and time the positions of comets and asteroids as they orbit the The application to Kepler's law are:
1. Sunplotting a course out of the solar system to explore other planets similar to Earth
2. plot the orbit of moons or man-made space satellites

An example of this is Kepler’s harmonic law is the third law of the Planetary Motion. He discovered this after ten years that there is a relation between the time of a planet’s orbit and its distance from the sun. The harmonic law states that the squares of the orbital periods of the planets around the Sun are proportional to the cubes of the planet’s orbital period

Answer 2

Answer:

A. To plot and time the positions of comets and asteroids  

Explanation:

Kepler's law helps to understand the orbits of many planets and celestial bodies including comets and asteroids.

It was found that like other bodies or planets, comets also revolve around the sun in an elliptical path.

Consider sun is situated at one foci, when comets revolve around the sun the distance is very large but as soon as it comes closer to sun, it starts to melt thus forming a comet tail.

Hence time and position of a comet is described by Kepler's law.
