What did Johann Kepler discover?

Johannes Kepler is best known for his three laws of planetary motion. These laws are: Planets move in orbits shaped like an ellipse. A line between a planet and the Sun covers equal areas in equal times.

What is the Kepler's theory?

Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion They describe how (1) planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun as a focus, (2) a planet covers the same area of space in the same amount of time no matter where it is in its orbit, and (3) a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the size of its orbit (its semi-major axis).

What did each Johannes Kepler discover about the universe?

Using the precise data that Tycho had collected, Kepler discovered that the orbit of Mars was an ellipse. In 1609 he published Astronomia Nova, delineating his discoveries, which are now called Kepler’s first two laws of planetary motion.

How many planets did Kepler discover?

During 9.6 years in orbit, Kepler led to the discovery of more than 2,600 planets by observing more than half a million stars.
