Kepler's laws are alternatively known as Kepler's planetary laws, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, or Kepler's laws of celestial mechanics, owing to their application in the study of celestial bodies. These laws were formulated by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century, and they depict the motion of the planets around the sun. Kepler's laws govern the path, speed, and configuration of these planets, providing a mathematical framework that explains and predicts their behavior. Some other synonyms for Kepler's laws include the three laws of Kepler, Kepler's three laws, or Kepler's laws of motion. In essence, these varied terms represent the same scientific principles discovered by Kepler centuries ago.
