All planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun with the Sun at one of the foci of the ellipse.
The line that joins a planet and the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal intervals of time.
The square of the time period of revolution of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the ellipse traced by the planet.
The square of the time period of revolution of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the ellipse traced by the planet.
